Uganda Human Rights Commission wants the Minister of Justice and Constitutional Affairs to append a signature on the regulations which guide the implementations of the Anti-Torture Act 2012 which was passed by Parliament on 18th September 2012.

The Acting Chairman of the Commission Dr. Katebalirwe Amooti says since the law was passed in 2012 it has never been implemented because the enforcing Authorities like Uganda police have no regulation to follow when enforcing the laws.

Dr. Amooti says the number of victims of torture is on increase every year from Organization, work places, security operatives among others yet the law which would have used to crack down all oppressors is inactive.
