Norbert Mao gathered with Uganda Young Democrats (UYD) yesterday at MasakaTaxiPark to denounce what he termed as the ‘brutal acts of Uganda’s security agencies.

Mao says that his party has surveillance videos showing some members of the security intelligence networks throwing punches at DP and FDC activists in different parts of the country on several occasions.

Referring to the recent arrest of some UYD youths in Masaka for having organised a birthday party for president Museveni, Mao said the security agencies should capitalize on advising government to restore rule of law and ensuring that there is enough drugs in hospitals than arresting and persecuting opposition politicians.

Mao says that several youths opposition political activists in Uganda face several charges, including assault, criminal trespass, resisting arrest over their continued advocacy for rule of law and democratic governance.

Police last week arrested UYD’s John Baptist Ntuwa, Yasin Semwogerere and Moses Bigirwa after they organised Museveni’s 75th birthday. Speaking at the same gathering, FDC party president Mugisha Muntu said also many of its party youth activists like Rogers Ssegujja, Mike Kabaziguruka, John Katebe, and Moses Tumukunde are in hiding fearing arrest and others are facing trumped up charges because they are being accused of trying to overthrow the government of Uganda throw walk to work protests.
