President Museveni while speaking in Masindi at the Kabalye police training school at the function to pass out more than 4800 Police officers said, the Special Forces Command (SFC) soldiers were professional in handling the MP Kyagulanyi and his colleagues who had provoked them in Arua.
Speaking to Journalist at Party headquarters in Kamwokya today, Kyagulanyi who is also MP for Kyadondo East constituency said that president Museveni’s words have only helped to prove that the SFC soldiers tortured and abused the rights of the people in their custody to the extent of Killing his driver Yassin Kawuma. Adding that, the same words will be an evidence in ICC.
Kyagulanyi appealed to the security forces as the country heads to the heated election period, to desist from engaging in criminal activities of abusing human rights because the laws allow citizens to go after individual perpetrators of violence other than the institutions under which they serve.
