Uganda: Homosexuality

Leatitia Nanziri Dept: Leatitia Nanziri says she is a lesbian and was forced to flee Uganda, where homosexuality is illegal, after she was outed. She also claims she was sexually assaulted by a police officer in Uganda, according to CBC. The matter was taken to court for review and a Toronto mother of two who was scheduled to be deported to Uganda on Saturday has been granted a stay of deportation. Nanziri came to Canada and claimed refugee status, but was denied. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
