Kampala, Uganda (CNN) -- The Ugandan high court has banned all media outlets in the country from publishing lists identifying people they claim are gay after advocacy groups filed a lawsuit.
The order came three months after Rolling Stone -- a local tabloid which has no relation to the iconic U.S. music magazine -- published a list of people it said were gay, urging readers to report them to police.
Monday's ruling applies to all media outlets in Uganda, not just the tabloid.
