Proposed laws in Uganda would mean death and life imprisonment for some LGBTQ+ crimes
The United Nations has urged Ugandan president Yoweri Museveni to block an anti-LGBTQ+ bill that has harsh penalties for some homosexual offences, including death and life imprisonment.
“The passing of this discriminatory bill – probably among the worst of its kind in the world – is a deeply troubling development,” Volker Turk, the U.N. high commissioner for human rights, said in a statement.
