her sister shamim also survived. creepy at least 15 people saw the drive by shooting that killed shamim s unborn children. we ve now spoken to three of these eyewitnesses, and all of them told us the same thing the sisters were shot by ugandan security forces riding in a government convoy.
but according to the evidence we ve gathered, kamuyat and the other people shot by police truck 17 on kampala road, were not destroying property. the sisters, shamim and shakira, were not armed or dangerous. the boy, amos, had not reached a certain level of violence. these people were mothers and fathers, workers and pensioners, locals and passersby, children and unborn babies shot and killed by the same security forces whose job is to protect the citizens of uganda.
