Welsh Pressure on Minister Carwyn Jones

Welsh Minister Carwyn Jones

Stonewall Cymru, a leading gay rights group in Wales, has urged First Minister Carwyn Jones to speak out about the anti-gay bill in Uganda when he visits there next week. 

Gay Star News reported that the minister has a good record on gay rights domestically, and that this would be a good opportunity to bring up the situation in Uganda whilst there.

As members of Ugandan's parliament celebrated the adoption of the bill last month, it became more obvious that external pressure must be applied if there is any way for this bill to be defeated. Take a look at our Take Action section for ways to get involved, and also our Campaing Groups section for a list of other campaign groups to join.
