US imposes visa restrictions on Ugandan officials over anti-LGBTQ law.
TL;DR Summary
The United States has imposed travel restrictions on Ugandan officials in response to an anti-LGBTQ law signed by President Yoweri Museveni last month. The law includes the death penalty for "aggravated homosexuality" and life imprisonment for same-sex intercourse. The US Department of State cited human rights abuses, including those of LGBTQI+ persons, and corruption as reasons for the restrictions. US President Joe Biden had previously threatened aid cuts and other sanctions in response to the law.
