Army officers descend on journalists earlier in February
The Uganda People's Defense Forces (UPDF) has asked the High court in Kampala to allow them to settle out of court a case in which they were sued over battering journalists earlier this year.
City lawyer Steven Kalali sued the government on behalf of journalists for battering several journalists on February 22, 2021, who'd gone to cover National Unity Platform former presidential candidate Robert Kyagulanyi as he delivered a petition to the United Nations High Commission in Kololo challenging gross human rights violations in the country.
