Another senior journalist, one of our own Steven Mbidde with NTV Uganda- NMG, has been shamelessly and brutally attacked by the Police officers with impunity at Wandegeya Police station while on duty.
Mbidde’s ruthless attack comes barely a few days when the same security personnel under JAT have just unleashed brutality on journalist Miracle Ibra with Top Tv also in line of duty that left his skull and eye severely injured, and is lying on his sick bed.

Every journalist and non journalist must protest such crimes and vehemently condemn them.
As UJA, we shall give a full address on these unlawful growing acts of impunity on journalists as and when our teams on the ground have finalized the assessment.
“Violence and impunity on journalists by security personnel is illegal and a blatant violation of the fundamental human rights and press freedom!!” remarked UJA secretary general Emmanuel Kirunda
