Human Rights

Uganda is in a state of mass hysteria.

Whipped up by demagogic charlatans, the impoverished nation, facing herculean difficulties and teetering on the brink of an economic catastrophe, has passed a law outlawing homosexuality. Not satisfied with Anti-Sodomy Laws already on the books, the government now imposes some of the harshest penalties in Africa on gay and lesbian citizens. The statute is sweeping and includes promotion of publicly accusing any one of being gay.
By reading or loaning this book, you are a Ugandan criminal.

What should the West do and what has the West done to stand up for human rights? What will happen to the Ugandan gay population? Is there hope for repeal? These are moral and political questions that will be addressed, even if by the complicity of silence.

In Britain and the United States, Europe and Canada, the Left and Right Wings of the body politic must search their souls for a response.

For social liberals, a traditionally suppressed minority is being persecuted. As a result, Uganda is stepping backwards into a darker and more dangerous time.
For Conservatives, since the law is a product of the super-state, they too must search for sensible policy. Ugandan Press, Church, Mosque and Government are suppressing personal liberties. Ending foreign aid to Uganda might be a sensible way to both stand for freedom and cut spending.

This 7500 word booklet tells the story of the rights of a minority being crushed for the benefit of politicians and how the press and church/mosque joined in. The question for the West is how to respond.
