LONDON President Yoweri Museveni of Uganda significantly strengthened
Africas antigay movement on Monday, signing into law a bill imposing harsh
sentences for homosexual acts, including life imprisonment in some cases,
according to news reports and government officials.
.
The move came weeks after Mr. Musevenis Nigerian counterpart, Goodluck
Jonathan, took similar steps in his own country, threatening offenders
with 14-year prison terms. The Uganda law seemed even tougher, calling for
life terms for repeat convictions on the charge of aggravated
homosexuality after initial 14-year sentences for the promotion or
recognition of homosexual relations.
.
The president is signing the anti-homosexuality bill today, the Ugandan
government spokesman, Ofwono Opondo, told Reuters. He wants to sign it
with the full witness of the international media to demonstrate Ugandas
independence in the face of Western pressure and provocation, Mr. Opondo
said.
.
The Ugandan Parliament approved the law in December, saying it was aimed
at strengthening the nations capacity to deal with emerging internal and
external threats to the traditional heterosexual family.

.
President Museveni has dealt a dramatic blow to freedom of expression and
association by signing the Anti-Homosexuality Bill, said Maria E. Burnett,
a senior researcher at Human Rights Watch. Clawing back these basic rights
and criminalizing the expression of divergent views doesnt bode well for
anyone in Uganda.
