Uganda Anti-Homosexuality Bill
Uganda constitutional court annuls new anti-gay law
Uganda's constitutional court on Aug. 1 overturned tough new anti-gay laws that had been branded draconian by rights groups, saying they had been wrongly passed by parliament.
The law is "null and void," the presiding judge told the court, saying the process had contravened the constitution, as it has been passed in parliament in December without the necessary quorum of lawmakers.
