Ouganda: réagissez à l'article haineux du Red Pepper
La publication d'un article dénonçant plusieurs dizaines d'homosexuels ougandais dans le tabloïd The Red Pepper (lire mon précedent post) n'en finit pas de suciter des réactions. Grâce à mon intervention, Reporters sans frontières prépare une réaction, Solidarité Internationale LGBT et l'Inter LGBT aussi et de son côté, le réseau Euroqueer a rédigé une lettre de protestation à envoyer au journal.
Libre à vous de l'adapter.

Dear Sir,
I am a human rights advocate who is gay and wish to convey my deep displeasure with the September 9 story "Homo Terror!" that appeared in your paper.
It is highly unacceptable and very uncivilized to publish precise descriptions of private citizens you claim are homosexuals. There is no valid reason for your story and I fear it creates stigma and real fear for the people
identified and all sexual minorities in Uganda.
Men named on your list have expressed on the web that they live in terror of being attacked and suffering violence. This terror is because the Red Pepper is not practicing normal standards of acceptable journalism.
I ask that you refrain from further publishing similar defamatory stories about gays and sexual minorities, adopt reporting principles that don't violate the privacy or human rights of Ugandans, and issue an apology for the September 9 story.
Best regards,
