Uganda's Court of Appeal upheld URSB's rejection of Sexual Minorities Uganda (SMUG) registration.

Uganda's Court of Appeal upheld the URSB's decision to reject the registration of Sexual Minorities Uganda (SMUG) as a company. The court ruled that URSB acted within the law in declining to reserve the name SMUG, which advocates for the rights of LGBT individuals, as it promotes and protects rights prohibited in Uganda. The Constitutional Court is yet to rule on the legality of the Anti-Homosexuality Act enacted in 2023.
