A Ugandan lesbian woman is set to be deported
 from the UK to Uganda on Wednesday evening,
despite an online campaign demanding a stop to
 her removal. 
Anne Nassozi fled Uganda in December
2013, two months before the country passed an
 anti-gay law, and was detained in a UK immigration centre following a failed bid for asylum. 
The Save Anne campaign said Nassozi faces greater
 danger returning to her country and would be 
prone to violence. If convicted under Uganda's anti-
gay law, she could possibly face a long jail term. 
Activists used the #SaveAnne to voice their concerns over Nassozi's asylum case.
