Families of the 18 missing opposition National Unity Party -NUP supporters have petitioned the High Court in Kampala seeking an order compelling the Attorney General to account for their alleged missing family Members since 2020.
These are families of John Bosco Kibalama,John Damulira , Mbowa Musisi,Martin Lukwago Michael Semudu and Shafic Wangoli.
These were led by frustrated and desperate wives of the alleged missing family members, children and parents.
Others supporters missing are Nalumoso Vincent , Denis Zzimula , Muhammad Kanata , Goerge Kasumba , Moses Mbabazi, Yuda Ssempijja , Arafat Mugumya , Peter Kirya. Mustafah Luwemba , Hassan Mubiru , Isa Ssessazi and Godfrey Kisembo.
The relatives led by Nabukeera Monica Catherine the wife of Kibalaba John Bosco; a BAT-Uganda former accountant says her husband mysteriously disappeared on June 3rd 2019 to date.
In her supporting affidavit, she contends that, the families have since filed missing persons reports with police and looked every where but have failed to trace their relatives.
Now the wives, mothers and children want declarations that the continued detention of their relatives incommunicado , by security agents is unlawful, illegal and constitutes a violation of their fundamental human rights enshrined under the Constitution.
The families further want court to order for compensation for the breach of their people's Constitutional rights.
They claim that all efforts to reach out to the Uganda Human Rights Commission, police and Parliament for help have not yielded any results
