Uganda
urmila, 22:59h
Die taz berichtet über das neue ugandische Gesetz, das alles Nicht-Heterosexuelle massiv verfolgen soll. Von queer-feministischen Freundinnen aus Indien bin ich auf einen Letter from Indian Citizens to Uganda High Commission hingewiesen worden, der die Verschärfung der Gesetze anprangert, die (post)kolonialen Kontinuitäten (britische Kolonialgesetze, Einfluss USamerikanischer Evangelikaler) aufzeigt und Solidarität zeigt:
"We register here our strong condemnation of President Museveni’s signing of the Anti-Homosexuality Bill, 2009 into law. The Uganda Anti-Homosexuality Act, 2014 violates the basic human rights of the kuchus of Uganda, impeding their right to live and love without harm to others, in enjoyment of the rights of freedom and equality guaranteed by the Ugandan Constitution. In the face of this severe blow to the struggle for universal human rights, we reassert our solidarity with the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, disabled and HIV-affected adult people of Uganda, and of all 36 of Africa’s 55 countries where same-sex relations are illegal."
