For being gay. Seriously?...in this day and age. Poor fella must be terrified. Worth a signature don't you think?

But cross posting to raise awareness is a good idea.
BBC have picked up the story, apparently.

Oops missed that...thanks Dave but as you say, another post can't hurt the cause.

Lisa, as I don't venture into the Lounge much there's no harm in a bit of a double post, and this is a dreadful story and one worth supporting!

Just to be clear, he's not currently in jail, but was arrested after the burglars shopped him, and can't leave the country.
The objective is to get him out of Uganda in a controlled fashion.

Completely Nuts.
Unfortunately, a lot of the world seems a no go for anything resembling human rights.

The burglars shopped him? So are they in jail for burglary? This, I believe, is a Christian fundamentalist issue so can you get senior church people here to support the cause?

Mmm, the man is gay and chose to visit one of the most homophobic countries in the world with gay porn on his laptop. He has my sympathy but that seems a bit stupid to me
