Security minister Muluri Mukasa has supported the Anti torture bill currently being scrutinized by the legal and parliamentary affairs committee of parliament saying it will outlaw torture.

However he suggests that the law should be balanced to protect the people who collect information from suspects which can be used for successful prosecution.

Muluri who was giving views on this bill before the committee, says that if the bill is not balanced, the people responsible for interrogating suspects will fear to do their work well.

The bill was tabled before parliament as a private members bill by Ndorwa east mp Wilfred Niwagaba to make torture a crime.
