PAN-AFRICANISTS have attacked sympathisers of homosexuality.
They were meeting at their head offices in Kamwokya on Friday to discuss the issue of ‘homosexuality as a humanity right’.
Nathan Byamukama from the Uganda Human Rights Commission said homosexuality is not yet a human right in Uganda and it is therefore illegal.
“If homosexuals want their full rights, let them mobilise and demand for them. Before they do that, it will still be regarded illegal according to the governing laws of the country,†he said.
David Mafabi, political director of the Global Pan-African Movement, said debates on homosexuality had to be left to the whites who are believed to have started it.
“Whereas Dr. Sylvia Tamale has the right to express herself on homosexuality, the idea that it should be a human right should not even be debated because it is unthinkable,†he said.
Sylvia Tamale, a Makerere University lecturer, recently said homosexuality should be regarded a human right.
