FDC Women leader, Ms Ingrid Turinawe broke the news on her Facebook page saying police was beating up people and firing teargas at the launch.
"Terror, teargas, bullets, kiboko all live as police blocked gospel album launch and dispersed Christians in Ntungamo today Sunday 5th October," Turinawe posted on her wall.
