Police in Uganda are reported to have arrested members of the LGBT community in the country on Sunday.
Around 120 gay people were arrested during an operation by police officers accusing them of frequenting a smoking place.
Ugandan police spokesman, however, denied police involvement in the operations in a bar that is well known for hosting parties on Sunday.
The government has also denied any connections of them trying to fight homosexuality in the country through every means possible.
