In what looks like violation of peoples’ inherent rights, Uganda police arrested and reportedly detained seven men in toilets. The seven men were arrested by the police at Nyeihanga Trading Centre in NdeijaSubCounty in Rwampara constituency in Mbarara District on Thursday 07/02/2013.

The suspects locked up in police toilets are Mr Baguma Nelson, Mr Mutungi Nicholas, Mr Mushabe Edgar, Mr Mukasa Badru, Mr Tumusiime Brian, Mr Nabasa Godius, Mr Tugumizemu Brian and another unidentified gentle man so the total number of the suspects locked up is eight (8).

Sources privy to this information told us that the suspects have been detained at Mbarara police post. It is also said that this police post uses rooms which were meant to be used as toilets to work as police cells where treason suspects are detained.  These people have been under police detention since Thursday last week and they have been charged with treason when they demonstrated over UMEME (ELECTRICITY) load-shedding last Friday.
