Irene Nakimbugwe

Irene Nakimbugwe is the deputy spokesperson for Uganda's Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP). She made headlines recently when she confirmed the withdrawal of a case against two women who were arrested for kissing in public, a case that highlighted the country's harsh anti-gay laws. Nakimbugwe's statement reflects a significant moment in the ongoing discourse around LGBTQ+ rights in Uganda, as human rights advocates call for a reevaluation of such laws.
