"During the interview, I alluded to the selective demand for human rights by the US; “Human Rights are not selective! What’s good for the Goose is good for human rights are important in the west, like rights for the gays should be a subset of the general human rights situation in Uganda! There against basic human rights in uganda, citing the Public Order Management Act that prohibits freedom of assembly. This is a violation of rights and the USA and the west didn’t put a lot of effort in campaigning against it the way they are with the AHA! I told Michelle quote; ” don’t have enough rights going round in Uganda” “if the US government wants human rights in Uganda, it should not be selective, i.e to their focus on only the gay rights!” The US should know that under dictatorship, Laws that curtail general rights ought to be fought holistically!”"
