A group of Quakers have formed an underground network to help gay Ugandans escape the country.
According to Buzzfeed, members of the religious group – also known as the The Religious Society of Friends – have formed an organisation called the Friends New Underground Railroad (FNUR) to help smuggle gay people out of Uganda.
Working with 10 Ugandan "conductors", the US-based group has funded passage out of the country for around 107 people.
