Pride Uganda International Alliance calls for Urgent Action to defend human rights in Uganda
Please come to a vigil to protest the new Anti-Homosexuality Bill under debate by the parliament of Uganda.
Where: 519 Church St. Community Centre
When: 5:30 - 7:30 Friday December 18 2009
The new Anti-Homosexuality Bill, imposes the following:
- The death penalty for 'aggravated homosexuality' (includes HIV positive status) and 'serial' homosexual acts.
- Life imprisonment for all same-sex behaviour.
- Life imprisonment for contracting a same-sex marriage.
- Seven years imprisonment for 'aiding and abating' homosexuality.
- Five to seven years imprisonment for supporting homosexuality or publishing material 'promoting' homosexuality.
- Three years imprisonment for not reporting any offence covered by the bill, within 24 hours.
Under Uganda's existing laws, the police arbitrarily arrest and detain men and women accused of engaging in consensual sex with someone of the same sex. Human rights organizations have documented cases of torture against lesbians and gay men in detention because of their sexual orientation. The new bill will further criminalize the work of activists and organizations working for the defense and promotion of human rights in Uganda; and create major barriers to effective HIV/AIDS prevention efforts.
We call for the immediate withdrawal of the "Anti-Homosexuality Bill" currently being debated in the Ugandan parliament.
Please join us in defending human rights in Uganda.
Pride Uganda International Alliance.
