US imposes visa restrictions on Ugandan officials over anti-LGBTQ law and democratic process undermining.

The US has imposed visa restrictions on Ugandans accused of "undermining the democratic process" in Uganda after the adoption of an anti-gay law in the country. The law punishes homosexuality, including with the death penalty in some cases. The US State Department did not name any targeted individuals but said it would consider other possible actions to promote accountability for Ugandan officials and individuals responsible for undermining the democratic process, abusing human rights, including those of LGBTQI+ persons, or engaging in corrupt practices.
