Uganda's parliament has passed the Protection of Sovereignty Bill, a contentious law aimed at curbing foreign influence and funding in the country.
The bill, which was amended after warnings from the central bank about potential economic fallout, still imposes strict penalties on individuals and organizations deemed to be 'agents of foreigners.' Critics, including civil society groups and opposition politicians, argue that the law threatens democracy, stifles dissent, and could be used to target opposition and NGOs. Supporters claim it is necessary to protect Uganda's independence and national security.
The bill has sparked heated debate, with concerns about its impact on civil liberties, the economy, and Uganda's relationship with the international community.
