Germany Deports Lesbian Woman to Uganda Despite Anti-LGBTQ Laws
Germany deported a 23-year-old lesbian Ugandan woman, identified as Angel, to Uganda on July 21, 2026, despite Uganda having one of the world's harshest anti-LGBTQ laws. Angel, who fled to Germany in 2025, faced severe violence, state persecution, and possible death penalty in Uganda. Her asylum application was rejected by the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (Bamf), which deemed her homosexuality unproven. A second application was rejected as 'manifestly unfounded.' Despite a petition with over 12,000 signatures, warnings from human rights organizations and Bundestag members, and an urgent motion by her lawyer, the deportation proceeded. Angel was taken from deportation detention to Munich Airport and flown via Istanbul to Uganda. Her partner Consolate reported Angel was crying and scared. A Ugandan lawyer for Angel's family confirmed the danger for LGBTQ individuals in Uganda.
