Ugandan rights activists and politicians have filed a legal challenge to overturn a tough anti-gay law condemned by Western donors.
The law violated the rights of gay people and subjected them to “cruel and inhuman punishment”, they said.
Several cases of “violence and retaliation” have been reported since President Yoweri Museveni signed the law last month, the activists added.

However, some people are beginning to question whether punishments proposed in the law are too harsh, reports BBC Uganda correspondent Catherine Byaruhanga.
