  • Accountability for Acts of Torture by Counter Terrorism Law Enforcement Officials in Uganda
    3 Accountability for Acts of Torture by Counter Terrorism Law Enforcement Officials in Uganda Emmanuel Okurut* ABSTRACT The paper discusses the challenge of countering terrorism by law enforcement agencies in Uganda while at the same time ensuring full recognition and protection of rights of suspects such as freedom from torture, inhuman and degrading treatment. The paper notes that agencies responsible for combatting terrorism in Uganda have been known to execute their duties and responsibilities sometimes in complete disdain of the prohibition under Uganda’s Constitution and other laws of all forms of torture and cruel, inhumane and degrading treatment of suspects or offenders. The paper suggests strategies for turning this around. They include incorporating in the legislative framework accountability measures for law enforcement agencies; countering terrorism only through units properly established under laws incorporating accountability measures; and improved training and education of law enforcement agencies on human rights likely to be violated in counter terrorism activities. 1. INTRODUCTION The problem of torture has been a serious challenge within Uganda’s police force and has persisted over the years regardless of a number of measures against the practice.1 The practice of torture has permeated the entire police force but has been more pronounced in the fight against terrorism by the Counter Terrorism Police Unit and its affiliated security agencies.2 The threat of crime such as terrorism in Uganda has had a number of implications on the safety and security of the country. In response to these threats, the Ugandan * LLB (UB); LLM (Pretoria); LLD (Pretoria). Email: [email protected].

  • Uganda 2017 Human Rights Report
    UGANDA 2017 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Uganda is a constitutional republic led since 1986 by President Yoweri Museveni of the National Resistance Movement (NRM) party. In February 2016 voters re- elected Museveni to a fifth five-year term and returned an NRM majority to the unicameral parliament. The elections fell short of international standards and were marred by allegations of disenfranchisement and voter intimidation, harassment of the opposition, closure of social media websites, and lack of transparency and independence in the Electoral Commission. The periods before, during, and after the elections were marked by a closing of political space, intimidation of journalists, and widespread use of torture by the security agencies. Civilian authorities maintained effective control over the security forces. On December 20, Parliament passed a bill removing presidential age limits from the constitution, and on December 27, President Museveni signed the bill, thereby paving the way for him to run for another term. During the period before passage of the bill, the government limited freedoms of speech and assembly. The most significant human rights issues included unlawful killings and torture by security forces; harsh prison conditions; arbitrary detention; restrictions on freedoms of press, expression, assembly, and political participation; official corruption; and criminalization of same-sex consensual sexual conduct, including security force harassment and detention of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex persons. The government was reluctant to investigate, prosecute, or punish officials who committed human rights violations, whether in the security services or elsewhere in government, and impunity was a problem.

  • Torture As an Instrument of Repression in Uganda
    By Eriasa Sserunjogi Four police operatives who were charged with torturing a local politician were on May 30 granted bail, hardly a week after they had been remanded to Uganda’s biggest prison, Luzira. In Uganda, bail is treated as a constitutional right, granted at the discretion of a judge/magistrate and subject to the accused fulfilling certain conditions. But the speed with which the accused policemen were granted bail will leave you agape, especially since the same court that restored the policemen’s temporary freedom – Buganda Road Chief Magistrate’s Court – had dilly-dallied and in the end taken 33 days to release on bail one of President Yoweri Museveni’s leading social media critics. I will digress into this peculiar case for a split second. Stella Nyanzi, a researcher at Makerere University, uses colourful language on her Facebook page. Her posts, especially before her incarceration beginning early April, are littered with phrases many consider lewd and obscene. She ventured into largely uncharted territory, berating Museveni and his family, especially his wife Janet; to many an observer that was courting real danger. Some of Nyanzi’s classic phrases may not be appropriate for this article, but suffice it is to note that her charge sheet indicated that she had referred to the president as “a pair of buttocks”. As Museveni marked 31 years in power on January 26, which is a public holiday, he told the people gathered to celebrate his unprecedented feat that, contrary to what some (referring to his opponent Kizza Besigye) had said, he was not a servant of Ugandans.

    Quest Journals Journal of Research in Humanities and Social Science Volume 6 ~ Issue 11 (2018) pp.: 01-18 ISSN(Online) : 2321-9467 www.questjournals.org Research Paper Insecurty In Maska District –Publication Astate Of Insecurity(delete): The Political Economy Of Violence In Uganda’s Masaka District Nabukeera Madinah (Phd) Senior Lecturer Islamic University in Uganda Females’ CampusFaculty of Management Studies Department of Public Administration ABSTRACT:This article examines the problem of insecurity in Uganda in areas of Masaka district in the western part of the country. It provides a typology of the insecurity incidents which occurred in areas of Bukomansimbi, Lwengo, Rakai, Sembabule, Kalungu, Nyendo, Lyantonde districts and Kingo sub-county and examines the steps which government and other stakeholders have taken to address the problem. Using a qualitative approach, interviews were conducted in the affected areas with LCI chairpersons, locals and area members of parliament together with library research to explain why these measures have failed to reduce the high level of crime that takes place in and around the country. The article focuses on three related issues: the political economy of the Uganda state;catalysts for insecurity and the manner in which the government and other actors have sought to manage the country's insecurity situation.
