Ntungamo, Uganda – The Politicians and political activists in Ntungamo District have threatened to hold peaceful demonstrations next week agitating for the release of political prisoners including Col (Rtd), Dr. Kiiza Besigye.
Speaking to the coordinator of the People’s Freedom Front (PFF) in Ntungamo Municipality Peterson Musinguzi urged the Uganda prisons and office of director of public prosecutions (DPP) to unconditionally transfer Dr Besigye and all political prisoners to civilian courts for their justice.
Alice Kafooda, one of the human rights defenders, noted that to prevent an imminent tragedy in the country claimed to be democratic, the state should respect the rule of law.
The members of People’s Freedom Front (PFF) holding the placards bearing messages like “Free Dr Besigye,” alleged they are concerned with the medical care of Dr Besigye calling upon opposition to participate in the forthcoming peace full demonstration as the only way to show their dissatisfaction.
