Yesterday, a few journalists were tortured by senile Museveni’s security forces while on their duty capturing the launch of an electricity extension project in Kituntu Sub-County, in Mpigi District. Security was deployed, beat, and fired teargas to disperse the residents of Lwamikoma village who were in utter shock and trauma.

Senile Museveni’s violence against journalists and opponents in Uganda is not a new thing. Hundreds of local and foreign journalists have suffered torture and brutality, while others are killed by the tyrant’s security criminals. During Uganda’s recently concluded election campaigns that saw violence and mass murder, Museveni unleashed his henchmen to directly shoot, arrest and torture any journalist or anyone with a recording to cover the fracas, where hundreds lost lives.

With direct death threats from his security agents, such as “We shall beat you for your own sake”, or that “the police has the right to shoot you and kill you”, any talk of “protection for freedoms of speech for journalists, and Ugandans in general,” is just a sick joke. As long as the senile dictator is still directing matters in the Matooke Republic.
