The Uganda human rights commission has cited torture as the highest form of abuse registered last year.
Peter Ogwang says he was tortured by state operatives
The revelation was made by officials from the commission while presenting its 14th Annual report for 2011 to parliament’s human rights committee.
The commission said the top five alleged violations remained the same as those registered in 2010 and included torture, detention beyond 48 hours, and complaints about the rights of children and deprivation of life.
the acting chairperson Agaba Maguru said torture cases increased from 276 in 2010 to 428 in 2011.
