NEWS- The Principal of the opposition National Unity Platform Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu has delightfully received news of fresh sanctions imposed by the United States of America on four Uganda senior police officers.
The four are Bob Kagarura, Elly Womanya, Alex Mwine and Hamdan Twesigye who have allegedly been involved in torture, cruel, degrading and inhuman treatment.
Kyagulanyi noted that among other crimes these four will always be remembered for their role in the gross torture of Hon. Zaake Francis which he said was confirmed by the High Court.
Kyagulanyi was concerned with how “the regime shielded these officers and even promoted them despite the massive evidence against them”.
According to the NUP principal, these sanctions are yet another reminder that the wheels of justice may come slowly but they will eventually arrive.
“They’re also a reminder to all overzealous senior, mid-level and junior security officers that they will be HELD INDIVIDUALLY responsible for the crimes they commit against the people of Uganda”, he added.
He revealed his gratitude to the Government of the United States for continuously listening to the pleas of the people of Uganda about those who violate rights with impunity and remain untouchable by ‘the captured institutions in Uganda’.
From the statement by the US government, the four police officers were designated for gross violations of human rights.
