The World Bank says it is halting new loans to Uganda because a new anti-gay law contradicts its core values. Homosexual acts were already illegal in Uganda, but anyone now convicted faces life imprisonment under the new law which was enacted in May. Uganda dismissed the move by the World Bank as unjust and hypocritical. Its ambassador to the United Nations called the move "draconian.” In a tweet, Ambassador Adonia Ayebare said it was time to rethink the World Bank's work methods and the board's decisions. The Anti-Homosexuality law imposes the death penalty for so-called aggravated cases, which include having gay sex with someone below the age of 18 or where someone is infected with a life-long illness including HIV.
