This petition of citizens of Queensland draws to the attention of the House the fact that child sacrifice in Uganda is on the increase. This is an intensely disturbing phenomenon that is driven by superstition, exploitation, witchcraft, and extreme poverty. We acknowledge the steps already taken by the Ugandan government to tackle this issue, but believe more needs to be done.

 

Your petitioners therefore request the House to petition President Yoweri Museveni of Uganda and The Speaker of the Ugandan Parliament to use all the influence of their high office to end this 21st century evil and introduce new laws to protect children from the crime of Child Sacrifice.
