A Ugandan newspaper has published a list of the country's 'top 200' homosegxwals, a day after their president signed their anti gay bill into law which punishes 'aggravated homosegxwality' with life in prison.
The Red Pepper, a Ugandan tabloid, ran the names of 200 people it claims are homosegxwals, and the list includes prominent Ugandan gay activists such as Pepe Julian Onziema, as well as a popular Ugandan hip-hop star and a Catholic priest.
Few Ugandans identify themselves publicly as gay, and the tabloid's publication of alleged homosegxwals recalls a similar list published in 2010 where a prominent Ugandan gay activist, David Kato, was beaten to death after the Rolling Stone newspaper - which has no affiliation with the American magazine - called for him to be hanged.
In 2011 the then-editor said he had 'no regrets' over the article, as it was exposing wrongdoing, but a Ugandan judge later condemned the outing of homosegxwals in a country where gays face severe discrimination, saying it amounted to an invasion of privacy.
Reports say more than a dozen Ugandan homosegxwals have fled the country since December over safety concerns.
