Uganda Coalition Against Torture has come out to demands that Uganda prisons services reject all suspects tortured prior to remand.
According to the statement released in reaction to the inhumane torture of 13 men formally detained at Nalufenya police station. The 13 suspects were implicated in the murder of AIGP Andrew Felix Kawesi, and his driver Godfrey Wambewo and body guard Kenneth Erau.
According to Muhammad Ndifuna the executive director of human rights network, Ugandans are losing hope in the ability by their government to protect them from acts of torture by security operatives.
Among others demands mentioned in the statement, the Human rights committee of the parliament should conduct an investigation into the allegations of torture and specifically at Nalufenya, Uganda government should ratify the optional protocol; to the convention against Torture (OPCAT 2006) to allow free and unlimited access to all detention facilities in the country for inspection by Human rights bodies.
