Re-known anti-gay activists Ndorwa West Member of Parliament David Bahati, Pastor Ssempa and former Rolling stone editor Giles Muhame court face a trial with the International Criminal court in Hague.
According to GAYSTAR NEWS, an online publication, the ICC is considering the prospect of arresting Bahati, Pastor Martin Ssempa and former Rolling stone editor Giles Muhame after a Ugandan gay rights activist Magembe Norman filed a complaint calling for the arrest of the three so called ‘extremist anti-gay spokespeople’ and the ICC has responded.
On 14th October 2009, MP Bahati tabled the Anti-Homosexuality Bill to parliament in his desire to protect the institution of the family in Uganda. Giles Muhame, the former editor of tabloid Rolling Stone, published a front-page article showing 100 pictures of Uganda’s most well-known gay people.
When Pastor Ssempa was contacted on this story he had this to say. ‘ICC is being used to subject Africans into immorality. It’s the Guantanamo of Africans. The threats can’t change my mind.’ ‘We are in a clash of civilizations. In Africa sodomy is a taboo. To them it’s a human right.’ a bitter Ssempa concluded.
