The Constitutional Court of Uganda has tentatively scheduled December 18 as the commencement date for the landmark trial challenging the constitutionality of the country’s inhuman Anti-Homosexuality Act. Monday’s announcement follows an earlier agreement between the parties to consolidate the four petitions challenging the draconian law, along with 11 other related applications filed with the court. The petitions were lodged by human rights activists, journalists, religious leaders, and academics shortly after President Yoweri Museveni signed the law in May of this year.
