Following the extrajudicial killing of 70 people in Atanga and Acholibur in April 10, 1991, an appeal was faxed to him on April 29, 1991 on fax number + 256 41 235462 and telex number 61048 KAPITAL/61006 VICTORIA.
The same was copied to Prof George Kanyeihamba, Minister of Justice and Attorney General on Telexes: 61007 ADMINISTER; General David Tinyefunza, Minister of State for Defence on Telexes: 61203; Mrs Betty Bigombe, Minister of State for the North and East on Telexes: 61092.
The appeal expressed concern at reports that government soldiers have deliberately executed prisoners in Kitgum District in April 1991 in the context of military operations in rural areas. It further noted the following;
1. urging the government to order immediate impartial investigations into the reported extrajudicial execution of Santa Achero, Santo Alero, Modesto Agaba, Ochieng and at least 35 other prisoners from Atang and Acholibur on 10 April 1991;
2. urging that these investigations be concluded promptly and that they make recommendations about how extrajudicial executions can be prevented in the future;
3. expressing concern that government inquiries into previous reports of extrajudicial executions, such as the inquiry to investigate incidents in Gulu District at the end of 1988, have yet to publish their conclusions;
4. urging the government to bring to justice those who the investigations suggest have been responsible for human rights violations.
A copy of the fax note communicating the appeal is attached here for your perusal. Unless Museveni claims that his fax machine was broken and so was the ones for all his ministers, then he can't claim he did not know about these atrocities. Many people have written to me, called me on my cell providing evidence of the brutal killings of their loved ones by NRA soldiers. This belated apology although welcome, must be followed with real commitment to investigate everyone including Museveni himself for the killing of our people.
