Video: Ugandan Police Harass Opposition Candidate

I am a presidential candidate, but as you can see, if I can be harassed like this, tear-gassed and pepper-sprayed like this. You can imagine what is happening to the Ugandans that don’t have a voice. So the international community having seen what is happening to the people of Uganda and not only happening now, but what has been happening for a long time from the massacres in Kasese, in northern Uganda, to what happens every day. I really wish the international community could make the observation of the rule of law and respect for human rights as a precondition for cooperation with Uganda so that the international community does not continue to appear like a partner in crime. My most important mission is to be alive In seven days from now.” “Give me …” “As you can see, as you can see, this is our Main Street by the police. I am parking on the side of the road so that the network does not break off. But unfortunately, I’m being harassed. I’m not even allowed to park on the side of the road so I can talk to international press. That is what we go through every day. As a matter of fact, I would really, really — now I’m being arrested, as you can see. I’m being arrested.” “He’s a presidential candidate!”
