The US has imposed sanctions on Uganda for anti-gay laws that are against the universal human rights. It said Ugandans involved in human rights abuses against gay people will be banned from entering the US. The White House is also cutting funds to a number of programmes it is running with the Ugandan authorities, and cancelling a military exercise. The law signed in February allows life imprisonment for acts of aggravated homosexuality and criminalises the promotion of homosexuality. Several European nations including Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands and Sweden have cut aid to Uganda to show their opposition to the law.
