#SAVE ANNE

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.
