Two young women, aged 21 and 22, were arrested in the city of Arua, Uganda, after being seen 'kissing in public and in broad daylight' with each other. This was reported by local police, who noted that the young women violated Uganda's strict anti-LGBTQ law. This law is one of the harshest against the LGBTQ community in the world, carrying a potential sentence of life imprisonment and even the death penalty in cases deemed 'aggravated.'
