President Yoweri Museveni said he's not opposed to the bill's punishments, but wants rehabilitation to be considered
THE PRESIDENT of Uganda has U-turned on his decision to sign into law a “draconian” anti-LGBT rights bill and has asked for it to be amended.
In a statement, it was said the bill would return to the national assembly “with proposals for its improvement”. Spokesman, Sandor Walusimbi, wrote on Twitter: “[Museveni] told the members that he had no objections to the punishments but on the issue of rehabilitation of the persons who have in the past been engaged in homosexuality but would like to live normal lives again.
Homosexuality is already illegal in the East African country, however, the bill will now mean that it will be criminal to even identify as part of the LGBT community and friends and family will have to report homosexuals to the authorities.
