Yet another Ugandan journalist has reportedly been tortured at the hands of security operatives.
The Daily Monitor reports that Enoch Matovu, who is NTV’s correspondent in Mityana District, Kampala,was on Thursday night battered by security operatives who attacked him on his way home.
Matovu says he was on his way home with his 10-year-old daughter during curfew hours when soldiers moving in a double cabin vehicle called him by name, and then pounced on him.
The operatives, he says, covered his daughters’ eyes and then beat him to the extent that his limbs were sprained, in what appears to be a coordinated and targeted attack on him as a journalist.
