🇺🇬 Uganda parliament passes anti-homosexual bill mostly unchanged
Uganda's parliament on Tuesday passed anti-homosexual bill mostly unchanged, including long jail terms and the death penalty, after President Yoweri Museveni requested some parts of the original legislation be toned down.
Despite some changes, the new bill retains most of the harshest measures of the legislation adopted in March, which drew condemnation from the United States, European Union, United Nations and major corporations.
The provisions retained in the new bill include the death penalty for aggravated homosexuality and a 20-year sentence for "promoting" homosexuality.
