Mbarara High School management, over the weekend, sent over 20 boys home on suspicion of practicing homosexuality, Campus Bee has learnt.
It is reported that around 2am on the morning of Sunday June 12th 2016, three students in their senior three were caught viewing pictures on gay dating sites on their smart phones.
Before they knew what was happening, they were surrounded by a gang of their fellow students who started shouting, “homosexuals, homosexuals!”
The noise alarmed the rest of the student’s community who gathered and started beating the three.
The victims were battered severely and forced to divulge names of other students involved in homosexuality.
In fear of being tortured further, they named a number of students; one of whom was the Head boy.
The Police intervened and rescued the victims from the lynching mob before escorting them to their homes.
Reports further indicate that as of Tuesday afternoon, management had a list of over 20 students who were being accused of engaging in same sex relationships and had resolved to suspend them indefinitely.
Three students were injured in the fiasco and rushed to hospital.
Mbarara High school was founded 105 years ago by Anglican, Christian missionaries affiliated with the Church of England. The school is the oldest secondary school in Western Uganda.
