Ugandan lesbian asylum seeker and LGBT campaigner faces deportation on sunday.

PinkNews.co.uk - 4 hours ago

Margret Nazziwa has campaigned against Uganda's anti-gay laws

An asylum seeker who claims she is at risk of homophobic persecution
is due to be deported to Uganda on Sunday.

Campaigners say Margret Nazziwa fled Uganda in 2012 after experiencing
persecution because of her sexual orientation.

It's claimed she was forced into a heterosexual marriage, was a victim
of rape, and tortured by her community and the Ugandan authorities.

In a statement, Ms Nazziwa said: "I am privileged to be in the United
Kingdom where I live an openly lesbian life and campaign for gay
rights without any fear of being persecuted.

"If I am deported back to Uganda I will face imprisonment and
persecution and many other acts of violence against my person."

She continued: "I will not be able to campaign for gay rights as I
have been doing in the UK. I will not be able to live my life openly
and freely, and my relationship with my partner will be broken.

"I beg the UK Government to offer me protection such that I can live
my life without fear just like other people and continue to campaign
in a peaceful and dignified manner for the rights of other persecuted
peoples."

Ms Nazziwais is currently being held at the Yarls Wood Detention
Centre in Bedfordshire.

She is due to be deported to Uganda on Sunday 13 July at 8pm.

Her application for asylum is supported by her partner, the Peter
Tatchell Foundation, African LGBTI Out and Proud Diamond Group,
Metropolitan Community Church North London (MCCNL), Say It Loud Club,
Lesbian and Gay Christian Movement (LGCM) and Rainbow Across Borders.
