We went to deliver a complaint to the UN human rights office about the ongoing human rights violations,only for the military to badly beat up journalists&leaders right at the gate of the UN human rights office.Tibuhaburwa and the mad men he comamands have lost all sense of shame.
VIDEO: This is how military police 'terrorised' journalists who were covering @HEBobiwine's petition to the UNHRC earlier today. @ntvuganda's John Cliff Wamala, among others, is seen being beaten with a stick while Jeff Twesigye (on camera) runs for safety.

Journalists should not be attacked for doing their job. Whenever assaulted, swift, public, transparent investigations must follow to ensure justice is served and to restore public trust. Those who violate press freedom must be held to account. #JournalismIsNotACrime
His ruling was short. "This court finds that if released on bail, the accused will continue acts of violence. Bail is therefore denied." Lt. Gen. Andrew Gutti read. And so Nubian Li & 35 others went back to jail. How much deeper shall we sink before things get better?
It’s now four days since the military surrounded our home and placed my wife and I under house arrest. We have run out of food supplies and when my wife tried to pick food from the garden yesterday, she was blocked and assaulted by the soldiers staged in our compound. (ADMIN)
HAPPENING NOW: Heavily armed military and police have once again raided our party offices in Kampala. No one allowed to go in or come out. Museveni after committing the most vile election fraud in history, has resorted to the most despicable forms of intimidation. (ADMIN)
