## Resource

Ugandan prosecutors have dropped charges against two young women arrested in February for alleged same-sex conduct under the country’s brutal anti-homosexuality law — which carries life imprisonment or even death for consensual same-sex relations. The case, sparked by neighbor complaints and photos taken of the women in Arua, highlights how the law is weaponized against Uganda’s LGBT community, often for extortion or blackmail. Human rights groups hail the dismissal as a crucial step toward overturning unjust prosecutions and dismantling the law’s discriminatory framework, even as global outcry continues to pressure Uganda’s government.
