Uganda police has cancelled today's media briefing at Naguru due to a blackout by journalists who are protesting the mistreatment of their colleagues. This comes after several journalists were beaten , arrested and had their equipments destroyed while covering the Kawempe North by-election.
The journalists demand that the police address these issues before they resume covering security events .This is not the first time journalists have faced violence while doing their job,with atleast 14 journalists arrested and beaten in October 2023 while covering the return of Bobi wine .and in many countries affected by political wars , journalists are beaten and many are killed .
