Ugandan activists called on international donors to impose sanctions on rights abusers after President Yoweri Museveni signed an anti-gay law described as one of the world’s harshest.
The veteran leader defied warnings that approving the much-criticised bill against homosexuality would strain ties between Kampala and key foreign partners and aid donors, including Washington.
