Uganda’s President Signs Repressive Anti-LGBT Law (May 2, 2023)
Uganda’s President Yoweri Museveni has signed a bill criminalizing same s*x conduct, including potentially the death penalty for those convicted of “aggravated homos*xuality,” into law.
The Anti-Homos*xuality Act of 2023 violates multiple fundamental rights guaranteed under Uganda’s constitution and breaks commitments made by the government as a signatory to a number of international human rights agreements.
Uganda’s penal code already punishes same-s*x conduct with life imprisonment – a criminal offense that is rarely prosecuted – but the new law creates new crimes such as the vaguely worded “promotion of homos*xuality” and introduces the death penalty for several acts considered as “aggravated homos*xuality.” It also increases the prison sentence for attempted same-s*x conduct to 10 years.
The law discriminates against people with disabilities, contrary to Uganda’s Constitution, by making the offence of homos*xuality aggravated if the “victim” has a disability, thereby denying persons with disabilities the capacity to consent to s*x. Anyone advocating for the rights of LGBT people, including representatives of human rights organizations or those providing financial support to organizations that do so, could face up to 20 years’ imprisonment for the “promotion of homos*xuality.”
Violence and discrimination against LGBT people is already prevalent in Uganda. After the government passed the now scrapped 2014 Anti-Homos*xuality Act, Human Rights Watch research found that people faced a notable increase in arbitrary arrests, police abuse, extortion, loss of employment, discriminatory evictions by landlords, and reduced access to health services because of their perceived s*xual orientation or gender identity. Over the years, Ugandan police have carried out mass arrests at LGBT pride events, at LGBT-friendly bars, and at homeless shelters on spurious grounds, and forced some detainees to undergo a**l examinations, a form of cruel, degrading, and inhuman treatment that can, in some instances, constitute torture.
