Horst Backe: Photo

Uganda Dept: It's daylight and he's a gay man in Uganda, afraid of being lynched, according to Winnipeg Free Press. "He can't go anywhere," said Horst Backe, the spokesman for a Winnipeg group trying to help Peter and in the photo, a handsome but tired young man stands in the shade of a tree. The vibrant pattern and colours of his dress shirt are faded. He's turned slightly away from the camera, scanning the horizon for danger. Homosexuality in the East African country is considered a crime. A photo of Peter -- not his real name -- appeared in homophobic tabloids in Uganda next to headlines such as Hang them. The Free Press is not publishing the picture or the victim's name to avoid adding to the danger publicity is bringing to the man. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
