End The Human Rights Abuse of The Ugandan Lgbti Community and Human Rights Defenders Now

Published by pouline kimani on Sep 18, 2008

WE THE UNDERSIGNED CALL UPON THE GOVERNMENT OF UGANDA TO CEASE AND DESIST FROM PERPETUATING HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS AND ABUSES ON LGBTI HUMAN RIGHTS DEFENDERS AND THE LGBTI COMMUNITY.

WE CALL UPON THE GOVERNMENT TO ENSURE THAT THEIR ACTORS ESPECIALLY THE POLICE FORCE STOP THE CRUDE AND DEHUMANIZING TREATMENT OF RANDOM AND UNWARRANTED ARBITRARY ARREST AND DETENTION WITH THE AIM OF DAUNTING THE ACTIVISTS AND LGBTI COMMUNITY FROM EXCERCISING THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS.

WE CONDEMN THE RECENT ARREST,DETENTION AND TORTURE WHILE IN POLICE CUSTODY OF THE ABOVE MENTIONED ACTIVISTS KIZZA BRENDA AND GEORGE OUNDO.

WE DEMAND THAT THE GOVERNMENT OF UGANDA ABIDE BY THE REGIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS COVENANTS AND ENSURE THAT THEY TAKE ON THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO PROP UP AND PROTECT ALL HUMAN RIGHTS FOR ALL UGANDAN CITIZENS WITH A FOCUS ON LGBTI PERSONS WHO FACE THE THREATS OF MARGINALISATION AND HOMOPHOBIA.
