That the Parliament notes with concern that the Constitutional Court of Uganda recently upheld the provisions of the 2023 Anti-Homosexuality Act, which, it believes, is in defiance of international law; is aware that the legislation, adopted in May 2023, has been described as being among the world's harshest anti-gay laws and has, it believes, rightly drawn condemnation from human rights campaigners across the world; condemns the legislation, which, it understands, imposes penalties of up to life imprisonment for consensual same-sex relations and contains provisions that make "aggravated homosexuality" an offence punishable by death; understands that the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Türk, said that close to 600 people are reported to have been subjected to human rights violations and abuses “based on their actual or imputed sexual orientation or gender identity” since the Act was enacted; welcomes the strong international condemnation by elements of the international community, including the United Nations and countries such as the United States; acknowledges reports that activists, including Executive Director of Sexual Minorities Uganda, Frank Mugisha, have filed an appeal to Uganda's Supreme Court, and expresses its support to them by backing the repeal of what it considers to be a homophobic and draconian piece of legislation.
