News coming in indicates that, renowned gay activist and self-proclaimed chairman of the LGBT community in Uganda, Mukuye Siraje is on the run after Uganda Police busted a gay party and made several arrests. This left 13 arrested and the hunt for their chairman started immediately.
Mukuye Siraje went on the run and disappeared to an unknown place and Police again confirmed that he had been organizing such parties but the gay law had not been made serious like it is now. He is accused of promoting homosexuality and a prize of Ugx2m is put on his head by whoever knows about his whereabouts.
It should be known that Uganda is one of the more than 34 African countries where homosexuality is illegal, and it attracts a maximum sentence of life in prison or even death. So, for Mukuye Siraje being the fact that he has been so respected and actively advocating for the LGBT community, he is in a very sensitive spot for being convicted and sentenced.
How Did he escape?
Well, we suspect that Mukuye sensed danger after the news of the 13 gay pride arrests made several rounds. And he made a split-second decision to go on the run left with no choice but to lay low and stay off the grid.
