The ruling means that the case brought by the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) on behalf of Sexual Minorities of Uganda (SMUG), a Uganda-based coalition of LGBTI rights and advocacy groups, can move forward over defendant Scott Lively\u2019s request to dismiss the lawsuit. \u201cWidespread, systematic persecution of LGBTI people constitutes a crime against humanity that unquestionably violates international norms,\u201d said Judge Michael Ponsor. \u201cThe history and current existence of discrimination against LGBTI people is precisely what qualifies them as a distinct targeted group eligible for protection under international law. The fact that a group continues to be vulnerable to widespread, systematic persecution in some parts of the world simply cannot shield one who commits a crime against humanity from liability.\u201d\u00a0The lawsuit alleges that Lively\u2019s actions over the past decade, in collaboration with key Ugandan government officials and religious leaders, are responsible for depriving LGBTI Ugandans of their fundamental human rights based solely on their identity, which is the definition of persecution under international law and is deemed a crime against humanity. This effort bore fruit most notably in the introduction of the notorious Anti-Homosexuality Bill (aka the Kill the Gays bill), which Lively helped engineer.\u00a0Lively has also been active in countries like Russia where a new law criminalizing gay rights advocacy was recently passed. In 2007, Lively toured 50 cities in Russia recommending some of the measures that are now law.\u00a0\u201cToday\u2019s ruling is a significant victory for human rights everywhere but most especially for LGBTI Ugandans who are seeking accountability from those orchestrating our persecution,\u201d said Frank Mugisha, the director of SMUG.\u00a0Said CCR Attorney Pam Spees, \u201cWe are gratified that the court recognized the persecution and the gravity of the danger faced by our clients as a result of Scott Lively\u2019s actions. Lively\u2019s single-minded campaign has worked to criminalize their very existence, strip away their fundamental rights and threaten their physical safety.\u201d U.S. law allows foreign citizens to sue for violations of international law in U.S. federal courts under the Alien Tort Statute (ATS). The case,\u00a0<i>Sexual Minorities Uganda v. Lively<\/i>, was originally filed in federal court in Springfield, MA, in March 2012.\u00a0Today\u2019s ruling is\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/ccrjustice.org\/files\/SMUG_OrderDenyingDefMTD_08_13.pdf\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>.
