KAMPALA, Uganda (AP) — Uganda’s president has signed into law tough new anti-gay legislation supported by many in this East African country but widely condemned by rights activists and others abroad.

The statement refers to the signing of a bill by President Yoweri Museveni in Uganda. The bill mentioned in the statement is not specified, but based on the context, it appears to be referring to an anti-gay legislation that was signed into law in Uganda in the past. The specific details and provisions of the bill would need to be clarified for further information. However, it is mentioned that the version signed by President Museveni did not criminalize individuals based on their LGBTQ+ identity, which was a concern expressed by campaigners who opposed an earlier draft of the legislation. It is important to note that laws and their specific provisions can change over time, so it’s recommended to refer to the latest information or news sources for the most accurate and up-to-date details.
