The Constitutional Court of Uganda has upheld the controversial "Kill the Gays" law, which imposes severe penalties for consensual same-sex relations. While refusing to annul or suspend the law, the court acknowledged its inconsistency with rights to health, privacy, and freedom of religion. In a unanimous decision spanning 200 pages, the five-member court responded to a petition filed by two law professors from Makerere University in Kampala to challenge the Anti-Homosexuality Act 2023. Besides penalizing homosexuality, the law also imposes a 20-year prison term for individuals and groups found "promoting" homosexuality in Uganda. The court commenced the hearings for this case last December. #Queer Up The World View
