The information carried in your statement is false, holds no iota of truth, and intends to mislead Ugandans.watch the video:
I was personally not driving any car. I was arrested while reporting lives the police siege at the home of Dr. Kiiza Besigye for the 10th day. My only crime was to have the courage to report events as they unfolded in Kasangati.
Instead of issuing false information and what caused my arrest, the Uganda Police Force should issue a written apology. I was manhandled, fondled inside that van and beaten by huge men"
