KAMPALA, Uganda (AP) — Uganda’s president has signed into law tough new
anti-gay legislation supported by many in this East African country but
widely condemned by rights activists and others abroad.
The version of the bill signed by President Yoweri Museveni doesn’t
criminalize those who identify as LGBTQ, a key concern for campaigners,
who condemned an earlier draft of the legislation as an egregious attack
on human rights.
But the new law still prescribes the death penalty for “aggravated
homosexuality,” which is defined as cases of sexual relations involving
people infected with HIV, as well as with minors and other categories of
vulnerable people.
A suspect convicted of “attempted aggravated homosexuality” can be
imprisoned for up to 14 years, according to the legislation.
Parliamentary Speaker Anita Among said in a statement that the president
had “answered the cries of our people” in signing the bill.
In 2012, special correspondent Fred de Sam Lazaro reported from Uganda
on how a bill to impose severe penalties for homosexuality, including
death in some cases, was being criticized by some Western nations.
“With a lot of humility, I thank my colleagues the Members of Parliament
for withstanding all the pressure from bullies and doomsday conspiracy
theorists in the interest of our country,” the statement said.
