NUP accuses security operatives of planting evidence at their supporter's residence
The National Unity Platform has accused security forces of planting military-related equipment and materials at the residences of their supporters to justify their unlawful arrests, detention, and prosecution in military courts. This follows the arrest of Achilleo Kivumbi, the head of NUP's security, on Saturday by armed security personnel. The party says it is unfortunate that despite the Constitutional Court's ruling in 2021 that it's illegal for military courts to try civilians, many Ugandans are still being court-martialed. The party has asked its supporters to remain vigilant against what it described as targeted harassment and wrongful arrests.
