Three women were arrested by the police in Kampala after staging a nude protest against corruption in Uganda. Praise Aloikin, a law student at Makerere University; Norah Tshetshe; and Kemitoma Siperia Mollie, a former Guild leader, the protestors were apprehended as they approached the Parliament of Uganda.
Luke Owoyesigyire, Deputy Spokesperson for the Kampala Metropolitan Area Police said the protestors will be charged with common nuisance .
Two of the protesters were wearing only underwear, with their breasts painted in the national colors—black, yellow, and red. One of the protestors had the words "Kiteezi was preventable" written on her back, with another message reading "Anita Must Resign" on her thighs.
The women carried placards with messages such as "Uganda is not poor, they are stealing its wealth" and another with a more explicit message, "Corruption has ******me. I am here to moan," alongside another that read, "Say no to Corruption, for the Children."
This protest follows a similar demonstration last month, where several protestors were arrested for demanding the resignation of Speaker Anita Annet Among, whom they accused of corruption.
