Uganda’s leading opposition leader, Dr. Col. Kiiza Besigye is again under preventive arrest at his home in Kasangati on Kampala Gayaza road. His home is surrounded by dozens of policemen and army soldiers in police uniform.

Besigye, also a member of Activists for Change (A4c) was suspected by the government to have had plans of addressing a press conference on police brutality at his offices on Katonga Road in Kampala.

The sources in police told journalists that the force feared that Besigye and his cohorts were going to expose cases of police brutality in which tens of Ugandans reportedly lost their lives. The sources said exposing such information to the public raises peoples’ emotions. However, the police worked on wrong information because the said press conference was set to be addressed by the A4C coordinator MP Mathias Mpuuga but not Besigye.
