National Unity platform -NUP supporters have camped at the head offices in Kamwokya awaiting a green light from their party president on whether to hold a procession to the UN human rights offices or not.
Armed with placards and photographs of their missing persons, the group is optimistic they will be marching to the UN offices uninterrupted.
Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine, the NUP president is today taking his petition to the United Nations high commission on human rights following the kidnappings, random arrests, and torture of his supporters.
However as crowds gather within the premises of the NUP Kamwokya based head offices, Bobi wine remains inside the offices, holding a closed-door meeting with a number of other party bigwigs ahead of today’s plot.
Kyagulanyi made the announcement on Tuesday while addressing a presser at the NUP head offices based at Kamwokya.
He told journalists that it has been long overdue and as a party, they cannot sit back and do nothing while security forces continue to kidnap and torture his people at ungazzeted places.
According to Kyagulanyi, the numbers of missing people being reported by the internal affairs ministry are false, he says close to 3000 Ugandans have disappeared under unclear circumstances.
He says Uganda is a member of the international community; it has obligations that it must fulfill.
However, police have warned Kyagulanyi against holding a procession while heading to the United Nations high commission on human rights commission to present their petition.
Patrick Onyango the Kampala Metropolitan police mouthpiece says his office has received information that Kyagulanyi is planning to move with a crowd of people to prince Charles drive at Kololo .
Onyango says, the police is prepared to handle them professionally if it so happens, he adds that Bobi is allowed to go with only 3 people to the agency because processions were banned due to covid-19.
Onyango says the only person allowed to give permission for processions is the IGP
