Who is Uganda Martyrs?

The Uganda Martyrs were Christian converts who were murdered for their faith in the historical kingdom of Buganda, now part of Uganda. The main reasons for their murder were refusal to offer sacrifices to the traditional gods and objection to and resistance to King Mwanga's homosexual practices. Their killings seem to have been tied to specific resistance to Mwanga's attempts to engage in homosexual practices with those killed immediately before the killings.
