Uganda approves tough new anti-gay law – BBC News

Published

on



A new anti-gay law, one of the harshest laws of its kind in the world, has been singed into law in Uganda.

President Yoweri Museveni signed the Anti-Homosexuality Bill into law after parliament watered it down.

The new law calls for life in prison for those who are convicted under the act and in some circumstances, people could face the death penalty.

The law has received international condemnation, with the US President Joe Biden calling Uganda’s new law “shameful” and a “tragic violation of universal human rights”.

    Ugandans are simply following the religion and values the White man left for them. Now the White man has updated himself due to "age of reason" but the Ugandan could not update.

    The United States of America and other Western countries should stay out of Africa's affbirds. They have every ride to do what they want to do because there's their country in the United States and other Western countries. Do not have any say so overwhelmed. My homeland Africa don't choose to do what is citizens? The united states and other western countries stay out of africa's affairs you've been warned

    To all the LGBT communities around the world with their families, and close friends: DON'T TRAVEL AND TOURIST IN UGANDA. You'll be arrested and/or killed. Uganda is worthless, so spend your tourist money & vacation in gay-friendly countries, or else you'll have wasted your vacation time & money

    The supporters of this law, just like the legislators, rely too much on negative emotion but with no knowledge of gay people.Put emotion aside and ascertain the facts!

    I’m homophobic and the west is completely demonic but I don’t think being a gay justifies such harsh punishments.

Saudia Arabia vows ‘serious response’ to Houthi attacks and other stories | Global News Podcast

Published

The Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen have continued to fire missiles towards Saudi Arabia, after a number of deadly attacks on Riyadh’s main international airport.

Almost all flights to and from the airport have been suspended. The Houthis say their actions are in retaliation for “brutal Saudi aggression” against areas they control in western Yemen.

Saudi Arabia’s energy minister Prince Abdul Aziz bin Salman told a conference in Riyadh that the seriousness of the attacks required an equally serious response from the Kingdom.
