Sweden suspends aid to Uganda over anti-gay law

Sweden has suspended its financial aid to Uganda over the signing of a law that seeks to punish gays.
In a statement by its minister for International Development Cooperation Hillevi Engström, it said "Swedish aid is not unconditional. The Government is therefore now choosing to suspend government-to-government payments still due under our current strategy for Uganda,
with the exception of research cooperation."

Swedish becomes the fourth donor to do so after World Bank, Norway and Denmark who have withheld or diverted aid totaling about $110 million.
 Spokesman for the ministry, Sebastian Tham, said Sweden would immediately cut planned aid worth 6.5 million kronor ($1 million) to the Ugandan government
