Uganda: Rights Body Criticises Use of Force At Rally Break-Up

The Foundation for Human Rights Initiative (FHRI) has condemned the highhanded manner in which Bugiri resident district commissioner, Isaac Lulaaba, allegedly broke up a National Freedom Party rally by using firearms at the weekend. The FHRI spokesperson, Wendy Kasujja, said in a statement that the use of force on a peaceful crowd was uncalled for and urged the government to refrain from such practices.
