Uganda: 19 LGBT Members Denied Bail After Public Gathering Arrest

Posted by All Africa on

[VOA] A court in Uganda this week rejected bail for 19 members of the LGBT community who were arrested for gathering in public in violation of the coronavirus lockdown. Police arrested the men last month at a shelter for sexual minorities. Their lawyer argues the men, who range in age from 19 to 32, were targeted because of their sexual orientation.
