Ugandan LGBTQ+ Activist Stabbed Amid Rising Homophobia

Steven Kabuye, a vocal critic of Uganda's harsh anti-gay law, is in critical condition following a brutal attack.

Prominent Ugandan LGBTQ+ activist Steven Kabuye is in critical condition after being stabbed by unknown assailants.
Kabuye, who had been receiving death threats, was attacked on his way to work in the capital, Kampala.
The attack comes in the wake of Uganda's adoption of one of the world's harshest anti-gay laws last year, which has sparked fears of increased violence against the LGBTQ+ community.
Kabuye has been a vocal critic of the law, which he says violates basic human rights and sets a dangerous precedent for discrimination and persecution.
The law, which prescribes the death penalty for certain same-sex acts and up to life in prison for consensual same-sex relations, is currently being challenged in Uganda's constitutional court.
