Stop all foreign aid and sanction Uganda over its anti-LGBT+ legislation

Petition Details

The UK Government should stop all foreign Aid and Support to Uganda immediately. And place sanctions on Uganda for Human Rights Abuses.

Additional Information

The Ugandan Parliament just passed a bill that imposes the death penalty for "aggravated homosexuality". The bill reads: "A person who commits the offence of aggravated homosexuality and is liable, on conviction to suffer death”.

Surely the UK Government cannot financially support a foreign government that seeks to criminalise and murder it's citizens on the basis of their sexual orientation. This bill places thousands of LGBT+ people in Uganda as risk.
