Nairobi, Kenya – In June 2018, Danee Naturibale (not his real name) moved to Kenya after escaping from a Ugandan prison where he had spent two months. The 37-year-old, who openly identifies as gay, was among 20 people arrested at a party in Mbale in the country’s east, he told Al Jazeera.
“We were hurriedly charged [in court] and sentenced to serve 20 years in prison. After two months behind bars, we hatched a plot to sneak out of prison,” he said.
