Ugandan human rights activists, journalists, religious leaders, academics, and lawyers are currently challenging the Anti-Homosexuality Act, which came into force in May, in court. The case, which enters its final pretrial stage today, will soon proceed to trial.

As Pride month celebrations wind down in parts of the world that recognise LGBTQ rights, Ugandan human rights organisations have recorded a record number of abuses against that community following the introduction of the Anti-Homosexuality Act in that country one month ago.
Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni has approved an anti-LGBTQ+ law that makes the “offense of homosexuality” punishable by life imprisonment and even death. With the US now mulling sanctions on the aid-dependent country, the role of far-right evangelicals in pushing such policies across Africa remains unaddressed
