General Museveni's Conduct Condemned As "Shameful" By Amnesty International
The Ugandan authorities must halt the shameful assault on human rights that has cast a stain on the country's electoral and post-electoral period, said Amnesty International today, on the eve of President Yoweri Museveni inauguration for a fifth five-year term.
"President Museveni's inauguration comes amidst a crackdown on the rights to the freedoms of expression, association and assembly," said Muthoni Wanyeki, Amnesty International's Director for East Africa, the Horn and the Great Lakes.
"The arbitrary detention of political opposition leaders and their supporters, the recent ban on live media coverage of opposition activities and the violent disruption of peaceful opposition gatherings in the lead up to and since election day not only violate Uganda's own Constitution, but also fly in the face of its regional and international human rights obligations."
