allAfrica.com: Uganda: Call by UN to Ensure Security of Gays After Activist's Murder: "The United Nations today condemned the murder of a prominent gay activist and human rights defender in Uganda and called on the Government to ensure the security of gays in a country where homosexuality is a crime under existing laws.
According to media reports, David Kato, a primary school teacher and a leading voice against Uganda's Anti-Homosexuality Bill, was beaten to death with a hammer yesterday.
The bill would prohibit homosexual relations and contains provisions for punishing people alleged to be lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgendered. It could also lead to a prison sentence of up to three years for anyone who fails to report within 24 hours the identities of any such people they know, including members of their own family, or who overtly supports their human rights."
