KAMPALA, Uganda — A prominent Ugandan gay-rights activist whose picture was published by an anti-gay newspaper next to the words “Hang Them” was bludgeoned to death. Police said Thursday that his sexual orientation had nothing to do with the killing and that one “robber” had been arrested.
Activists were outraged over the death of David Kato, an advocacy officer for the gay- rights group Sexual Minorities Uganda. His slaying comes after a year of stepped-up threats against gays in Uganda, where a controversial bill has proposed the death penalty for some homosexual acts.
