Germany to Deport Lesbian Ugandan Woman to Country with Death Penalty for Homosexuality

Germany plans to deport a 23-year-old Ugandan lesbian woman, referred to as Angel, to Uganda on Monday, July 20, 2026. She is currently in deportation detention in Hof, Bavaria. Uganda has one of the world's harshest anti-LGBTQ laws, enacted in 2023, which can impose the death penalty for homosexual acts. The Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF) rejected her asylum claim, stating she did not credibly prove her homosexuality during the hearing. Advocacy groups criticize the BAMF's criteria as arbitrary and traumatizing. Angel's partner, Consolate, fears she may never see her again. The case highlights the dangers faced by LGBTQ asylum seekers in Germany's asylum process.
