A Ugandan gay rights activist whose name appeared on a tabloid “hit list” has been found beaten to death in his home. “He was killed by someone who came in his house with a hammer, meaning anyone else could be the next target,” said a fellow activist. David Kato’s name, picture, and address were printed by the newspaper in its list of the country’s “top homos,” which appeared under the headline “Hang Them,” the BBC reports.

Humans Right Watch urged police in Uganda—where homosexuality is illegal and punishable by up to 14 years in jail—to “urgently and impartially investigate the killing.”
