The Government of Uganda threatens to arrest TUSAPA officials for their continued promotion of gay activities in Uganda. The Government has banned also the proposed international dialogue against Anti-Homosexuality Bill2009 which would demand for recognizing gay rights movement in Uganda. TUSAPA also demand the Government to stop torture and discrimination of LGB&T and call the public to stop discriminating and killing gay people. TUSAPA's senior LGB&T advocate(Johnson K) is on run now after the police issued an arrest for him and after being beaten by the mob recently. Gay people in Uganda continue to face extreme torture, detention, killing and discrimination from the communities within Uganda but the government continuously putting pressure on activists yet the community they live in is also very futile.
