Police officers raided the offices of an American-financed project that offers services to AIDS patients, a government spokesman said Friday, in what appeared to be the first public action to enforce a new anti-homosexuality law. The Makerere University Walter Reed Project in Kampala was singled out for “training youths in homosexuality,” the spokesman, Ofwono Opondo, said Friday on Twitter.
