Biden Slams Uganda Anti-Gay Bill
US President Joe Biden hit out at Uganda’s recently passed Anti-Homosexuality Act, claiming it even “jeopardizes the prospects of critical economic growth” for the African country.
“This shameful act is the latest development in a trend of human rights abuses and corruption in Uganda,” Biden said, adding he was weighing up imposing sanctions on Kampala.
Monday’s Act orders the death penalty for “aggravated homosexuality” - same-sex relations with HIV-positive people, children, or the vulnerable - while gay sex was already outlawed, as it is in 32 of 54 African nations.
