A day after Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni signed into law a Bill that imposes death and life sentences on lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ+) people in Uganda, the Supreme Council of Islamic Scholars, known as Fatwa, has endorsed the move.
The council's deputy chairman, Sheikh Abubakar Bini, congratulated President Museveni and urged other leaders in Africa to emulate him.
