Journalist bodies have condemned continued the brutal attacks by the military on journalists as they do their work.
On Wednesday, as the former National Unity Platform (NUP) presidential candidate Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu alias Bobi Wine presented a petition on gross human rights violations to the office of the United Nations High Commission on Human Rights in Kololo, the military police descended on journalists battering them up indiscriminately.
Four Ugandan soldiers were handed prison sentences of up to three months by a military court on Thursday for taking part in the brutal beating of local journalists covering the country s opposition leader.
