The decision by a Ugandan newspaper to publish the names and locations of alleged homosexuals could lead to a government crackdown against them, a human rights group warns.
Human Rights Watch issued a release Friday, calling that development "chilling" and urging strong action in a country which the group charges has long been a place where lesbians and gays have been stigmatized and harassed by officials. "For years, President Yoweri Musevenis government routinely threatens and vilifies lesbians and gays, and subjects sexual-rights activists to harassment," said Jessica Stern, researcher in the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Rights Program of Human Rights Watch.

There have been several high profile cases of asylum seekers in the UK, fleeing persecution because of their sexualities. Some of the stories are horrific.
This is definitely chilling. It's sickening how people can have so much hate inside of them.
