While Police have denied the raid, Patrick Onyango, a spokesperson for the Ugandan Police, told Associated Press that the organisation had decided to voluntarily close.

However another government spokesman,Ofwono Opondo, has taken to Twitter proclaiming that the government closed the centre for training youths about homosexuality.

The Makerere University Walter Reed Project began operating in Uganda in 1998 and is a non-profit partnership between the Uganda university and the U.S. Military HIV Research Program. The centre offered health and education services to LGBT people living with HIV. It is estimated that 1.5 million Ugandans are HIV positive.
