These people use fear and violence, and they still maintain they're the good guys.
Radio 1 DJ Scott Mills has told how he had to flee armed police in Uganda after revealing to a senior politician that he was gay.
Being homosexual is illegal in Uganda and there are even efforts being made there to introduce the death penalty for it.
The 36-year-old was filming a show called The World's Worst Place to be Gay? (on BBC3, of course), when he confessed his sexual orientation to British-educated politician David Bahati - who Scott said "went mental".
He explained: "He was scary. He ordered us to cut the cameras then brought a security guard.
"We ran off and he rang one of our guys saying, 'Where are they staying? What are the registration plates? I want them arrested. They won't get far'."
Fortunately Scott's colleague lied about their location, and armed police arrived at the Sheraton - where they had been falsely told the team were staying.
The DJ continued: "I'd heard horror stories about people getting arrested and roughed up and who knows what. I was scared."
