LGBT campaigners have staged a protest over the President of Uganda’s visit to London.
President Yoweri Museveni arrived in the capital yesterday and has met with UK ministers, officials and corporate executives as part of a Pro-Ugandan business forum hosted by the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
On Wednesday evening, he gave a speech at a venue in Buckingham Gate, Westminster.
A protest, organised by the African LGBT group Out and Proud, with the support of Stop AIDS and the Peter Tatchell Foundation, was held outside the building.
Mr Museveni defended the legislation by saying that gay people give each other worms through sex.
He also described gay people as “disgusting”.
The World Bank, along with Sweden, Norway, Denmark and the Netherlands, all halted aid to the Ugandan Government as a result of the decision of President Museveni.
The UK Government said that none of its aid goes directly to the Ugandan Government.
