Richard fled Uganda when his boyfriend was arrested for being gay. He has lived openly as gay in Sweden for three years.
Now he will be deported back to his home country, where homosexuality can mean the death penalty. "I count my days. I'm going to die, I just don't know what time," he says. "There is no risk" to Richard, says the Swedish Migration Board. "Just joining an association like RFSL does not show that you belong to a particular group," says legal director.
