HRAPF: On 25th April 2023, President Yoweri Museveni [of Uganda] sent the Anti-Homosexuality Bill, 2023 back to Parliament with a request that they reconsider several clauses of the Bill. The Bill was referred to the Committee on Legal and Parliamentary Affairs to consider the President’s suggestion. On 2nd May 2023, the Committee tabled its report and Parliament passed the Bill again with amendments to the clauses identified by the President and some more. HRAPF had prior to this change analysed the Bill as enacted on 21st March, 2023, and this legal and human rights analysis focuses only on the amendments made to the Bill by Parliament.
