Lesbian to be sent to die in Uganda
That makes a good headline, doesn't it?
Brenda Namigadde is being deported to Uganda, where being LGBT is a crime... and as her case has already garnered interest, it seems unlikely she'll slip through the net. She says "If I'm sent back I'll be tortured ... it's very dangerous for me.” She faces 'clear and present danger' - the very situation in which people should not be deported.
Here's a link to an online petition to ask Theresa May to stop the deportation. I'm sure you've seen it on Facebook or Twitter, but I haven't seen it mentioned here yet, so please, please sign up and spread the word.
(On my friends page, this comes just above a post about a human rights activist being murdered for being gay. Point made, I think)
