Calls it has received reporting abuse, including assaults, threats and discrimination, rose from 78 in January to 117 in February and 367 in March, the commission said. ," she said, referring to a draft law passed by neighbouring Uganda's parliament last month that would criminalise identifying as LGBTQ and introduce the death penalty for some same-sex acts.
