Rights groups on Thursday said that there has been torrent of abuse against LGBTQ people in Uganda, mostly committed by private individuals, following the passage of one of the world's harshest anti-gay laws.
The Anti-Homosexuality Act (Aha), which was enacted in May, prescribes the death penalty for certain same-sex acts. At least six people have been charged under it, including two accused of the capital offense of "aggravated homosexuality."
