One who survived (still breathing after stoning) was burnt alive using kerosene/paraffin and a match box, stated a witness and source to the Friends New Underground Railroad (FNUR), a Quaker solidarity initiative helping LGBT people in Uganda.

Probably retribution for repeal of those hateful laws. Expect many more of these atrocities to come -- not that the world seems to give a damn.

About like Scott Lively and other U.S. evangelicals who stirred the shit cauldron in Uganda just before that legislation became law. I'd like to see someone grill them on the media about this and whether they're proud of their involvement.
