Trump Indictment Put On Hold By New York DA Alvin Bragg - Uganda Anti-Homosexuality Bill Forces Life In Prison Or Death | ITBP S7E8
In this week’s episode we discuss the recent announcement of possible indictment against former US President, Donald J. Trump. Manhattan, New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg did confirm that he has plans on indicting the former president for falsifying business documents. If this were to happen, it would be the first time that a former president of the US could be arrested and charged for a crime. Also, the Ugandan parliament has passed a law that would make gay sex punishable by death. We discuss where this decision is rooted from, and whether or not the western world has the right approach in trying to address this human rights issue.

Trump Indictment Watch
A Manhattan grand jury could decide whether to indict Donald J. Trump in the days ahead, potentially touching off a sequence of events that could include the unprecedented sight of a former president in handcuffs.
But much about what comes next remains unclear. Prosecutors have signaled that an indictment is likely, but it is not a certainty. Before Mr. Trump can be charged, the Manhattan district attorney, Alvin L. Bragg, must ask the grand jury that has been hearing evidence about the former president to vote on whether to charge him. A majority of jurors must agree to do so.
Ugandan lawmakers on Tuesday approved some of the world’s harshest anti-gay laws, making some crimes punishable by death and imposing up to 20 years in prison for people identifying as LGBTQ+.
The new legislation constitutes a further crackdown on LGBTQ+ people in a country where same-sex relations were already illegal – punishable by life imprisonment. It targets an array of activities, and includes a ban on promoting and abetting homosexuality as well as conspiracy to engage in homosexuality, Reuters reported.
According to the bill, the death penalty can be invoked for cases involving “aggravated homosexuality” – a broad term used in the legislation to describe sex acts committed without consent or under duress, against children, people with mental or physical disabilities, by a “serial offender,” or involving incest.
