#Ugandan #ConstitutionalCourt to consider #challenge to the #AntiHomosexualityAct.

#Petitioners argue the #AntiHomosexualityAct violates #Article92 of #Uganda’s #constitution, which prohibits #Parliament from enacting a #law that contradicts a #decision by the country’s #Judiciary. Their appeal is based on the #ConstitutionalCourt's 2014 ruling that nullified another #anti-homosexuality law."
