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.
