Evidence to Wall Street Journal Investigation on Russia and U.S. Religious Right in Uganda

Justice for Prosperity is proud to have supported a Wall Street Journal investigation into the global alliance between Russia, U.S. religious-right groups, and African politicians pushing harsh anti-LGBTQ laws.

This visual evidence highlighted her long-standing ties to Russian-backed networks that promote “traditional values” campaigns worldwide.
