The officers, who had teargas, confiscated the group s placards before protest activities began.
The group, including Ugandans living and working in Kenya, intended to march from the park to the Ugandan embassy in Riverside.
They said their main objective was to voice displeasure with Uganda s recent elections, which they alleged were neither free nor fair.
They claimed that National Unity Platform candidate, Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine, was denied his victory.
Wine has also made this claim and intends to take court action. President Museveni insists, however, that there was no cheating.
