The United Nations and the United States have added to international outrage over a hardline bill that the Ugandan parliament passed yesterday. The legislation imposes severe punishment for same-sex acts. Some acts are labelled as crimes that are punishable by death. The United States has warned Uganda of economic repercussions, if a law banning sexual minorities with a threat of long jail terms, comes into force. The top UN Human Rights has called on President Yoweri Museveni to reject it saying it is against Uganda's own constitutional provision of non-discrimination. To take this discussion further we are joined via Zoom by Corlett Letlojane, Executive Director at the Human Rights Institute of South Africa.
