Gay rights/LGBTI supporters demonstrated outside the Ugandan High Commission in London in protest of the Ugandan parliament’s passing of the Anti-Homosexuality Bill, often referred to as the ‘Jail the Gays’ Bill. The Bill violates the Ugandan constitution, Commonwealth Charter and the African Charter on Human & People's Rights to which Uganda is a signatory. It does not even conform to the human rights check list agreed by Ugandan parliamentarians. The Bill was passed on 20th December 2013 without a quorum and it was not on the parliament's order of business. It is invalid. It reportedly extends the current penalty of life imprisonment for anal sex to all other same-sex acts, even mere kissing and touching. It introduces jail terms of five to seven years for promoting homosexuality, including advocating LGBTI rights or assisting LGBTI people or events. The London protest was jointly organised by the African LGBTI Out & Proud Diamond Group and Peter Tatchell Foundation.
