Description
Uganda announces that President Yoweri Museveni has signed into law draconian new measures against homosexuality, described as being among the world's harshest. Speaking at a press conference announcing the law, Asuman Basalirwa, the MP who sponsored it, says "if you perform a sexual act with a person of the same sex, then you have committed the offence of homosexuality," adding that "under this law, consent is not a defence". The news has prompted condemnation from human rights and LGBQT groups. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
