Two women have been arrested in northwestern Uganda for k!ssing in public, police confirmed to AFP on Tuesday
The arrest, under Uganda’s 2023 Anti-Homosexuality Act, has sparked outrage among human rights groups.
The law imposes penalties of up to life imprisonment for consensual same-sex relations, while “aggravated homosexuality” is punishable by death.
Neighbors reported the women, providing photos as evidence, after suspecting “same-sex orgies” at their residence.
The women, both in their 20s, have been detained without legal representation since February 18
