The use of brutal and excessive force by Uganda's security forces can not be tolerated any more. NO! What happened at @MakerereU as police and military beat up students reminds me of what they did months ago. Not even animals deserve this treatment. lest we forget.
We have noted with concern the erroneous acts by wrong elements circulating a fake document purportedly lifting a ban against covering @NUP_Ug activities in Masaka until the party and @HEBobiwine own up to the mistakes of assaulting female journalists.
Our boycott still stands.
We reject this statement purportedly from and by the @NUP_Ug leaders who apparently can't own it up by any acceptable standards. When the reports of blatant abuse of journalists came up, the party deputy spokesperson resorted to blackmail, we're not moved either.
UPDATE: @Nab_Uganda condemns acts of violence towards journalists allegedly by the security team of the Principal of the National Unity Platform in a recent incident in Lwengo.

We as journalists in Greater Masaka have slapped an indefinite ban on covering the @NUP_Ug activities after the party leadership declined to acknowledge the mistake and apologize to our female colleagues who were beaten last Saturday by @HEBobiwine 's bouncers. #freepress
@bwanikaderrick@FarishMagembe Comrade Derrick the @NUP_Ug fellas should be reminded that they are not the only ones in the country. Uganda is full of divergent views, and we can all fit in and exist in harmony. We shall not accept some group to ride on others backs in the name of struggle
The attack on our colleagues @ZNamusaazi of @nbstv and Margret Kayondo of @Radiosimbatweet is one of the unfortunate things that do affect journalism in Uganda. We challenge @NUP_Ug and @HEBobiwine to apologize and reign over their supporters to stop their misconduct against us
