Scotland--A Ugandan man convicted of raping a woman is reportedly seeking asylum on the grounds that he is gay. John Ssewagudde, 21, admitted to the rape on the woman's Facebook page.
Ssewagudde has submitted a request for asylum which claims he is gay and will be killed if returned home. Uganda is one of the most homophobic places on Earth. LBGT people are frequently beaten, murdered and imprisoned there, and the government is known for attempting to pass a notorious "kill the gays" bill.
