Human Rights Activists challenge Uganda's Anti-Gay Law

Frank Mugisha

Human rights activists are not having it with Uganda's Anti-Gay law. They have filed a lawsuit against the law, claiming that it violates the right to privacy, the freedom of be, and the right to associate.

The activists involved are Frank Mugisha from Sexual Minorities Uganda and trans activist Julian Pepe Onziema. There are straight politicians involved as well, so it shows proof that the distaste for this law goes beyond LGBT people.

I wish them luck in this quest and hope their safety is intact. To read their petition, please go here
