Human rights activists call for more international pressure on Uganda over anti-gay law
Nicholas Opiyo, Petitioner and Human rights advocate, speaks to journalists outside the Constitutional Court in Kampala, Uganda, Wednesday, April 3, 2024
UGANDAN gay rights activists asked the international community to apply more pressure on the government of Uganda to repeal an anti-gay law which the country’s Constitutional Court refused to nullify on Wednesday.
Activist Frank Mugisha said Tuesday’s ruling was “wrong and deplorable.”
“This ruling should result in further restrictions to donor funding for Uganda — no donor should be funding anti-LGBTQ+ hate and human rights violations,” said Mr Mugisha.
