Legal incidents
On 16 December 2009, the national parliament debated whether to make
homosexuality a criminal offense, with a punishment of 5-10 years'
imprisonment. This legislation was similar to the controversial
anti-homosexuality bill in the neighboring country of Uganda. Justice
Minister Tharcisse Karugarama, however, condemned and refuted reports
that the government intended to criminalize homosexual acts, saying
that sexual orientation is a private matter, not a state business.
