This article is about the newspaper. For other uses, see red pepper.

The Red Pepper is a daily tabloid newspaper in Uganda which was launched on June 19 in 2001. Deliberately mirroring the style of tabloids in other countries, the paper is known for its mix of sensationalism, scandal and frequent nudity[1]. The paper has roused the ire of the Ugandan government for revealing that former foreign minister James Wapakhabulo died of AIDS, and publishing conspiracy theories relating to the death of Sudanese vice-president John Garang in a helicopter crash.

In August 2006, Red Pepper published the first names and occupations of prominent Ugandan men who it asserted were homosexual. This decision was sharply criticized by the campaigning group Human Rights Watch, which said that the move could expose the men to harassment by the government, as homosexuality in Uganda remains illegal[2]. The following month it published a similar list of 13 women who it claimed were lesbians[3]. The news editor of Red Pepper, Ben Byarabaha, vows that the tabloid, infamous for outing alleged homosexuals in Uganda by publishing their names, photographs and addresses each year, will continue its campaign against homosexuals.[4]
