The Ugandan Government plans to pass a law that imposes the death penalty on people for their sexual orientation or gender identity. Pushed by American Evangelists, the African nation is set to approve this inhuman piece of legislation, forcing thousands of LGBT people to flee in secret and seek asylum abroad, or else risk being arrested and murdered.
What few have spotted, is the likely avalanche of false accusations that this law could release on the unfortunate Country. Anyone with a grudge against anyone – neighbour, boss, ex fiance’ or rival in love – only needs testify that they were propositioned by the object of their hate and the Law will do the rest for them.
Avaaz, the human rights organisation, has launched a global petition tha has exceeded the 450,000 signatures they hoped for.
While it remains open, we encourage you to sign it, if you haven’t yet, and pass it on to your contacts and try to reach one million.
