Capital punishment is a legal penalty in Uganda. It last executed in 2005. However, the country is considered "Retentionist" due to a lack of "an established practice or policy against carrying out executions."[1]
In 2019, the Parliament of Uganda abolished the mandatory death penalty.[2]
In 2023, the Parliament of Uganda passed the Anti-Homosexuality Bill, 2023, which among other restrictions against LGBT people, prescribes the death penalty for 'aggravated homosexuality.'[3]
