Uganda: Opposition Raises Alarm Over Abductions, Media Closures

The Leader of the Opposition in Parliament, Joel Ssenyonyi, has accused the government of undermining the rule of law through alleged abductions, prolonged detentions without trial and the closure of media houses, warning that such actions threaten Uganda's constitutional democracy.

Addressing newly elected Members of Parliament, Ssenyonyi urged legislators to rise above political divisions and uphold the Constitution by holding state institutions accountable.

"It should bother us, regardless of our political differences, whenever we see a disregard for the rule of law," Ssenyonyi said.
