NUP president Bobi Wine has moved to report what he has called the persistent torture of his supporters by the police and military during his ongoing presidential campaign to the international community in search for lasting solution against the same.
This move follows the December 6th belligerent frogging of his supporters in Gulu by the UPDF and Police uniformed personnel, leaving several nursing injuries.
Most of the officer’s faces were hidden with masks and cloths coverings, which has since then left various stake holders questioning their intention.
Now according to Bobi Wine, they have reported the security operative’s actions to the relevant international, Regional and African bodies, aiming at bringing them to an end since they were in violation of the law and human rights.
“Today we managed to talk to the UN, East African Community and African Union before it is too late” Bobi Wine confirmed.
Wine explained that before Gulu attacks, his NUP party offices were first raided by the military officers who went away with among other items, computers ahead of his visit to the area on Saturday.
He accused the police, military and prison officers of shielding the NRM party supporters who raided his campaign rally with impunity in Nwoya district while in their party T-shirts, amid violation of electoral laws, before he could slam them for block his campaign at Elegu boarder near South Sudan.
NUP president recalled how various party supporters have been subjected to what he called deliberate death by the security personnel, citing Meshach Okello who was gunned in Iganga, among others.
Wine stated that all those acts are aimed at provoking his supporters into violence to justify attacks on them, which has failed to work out.
He was addressing journalists in Kampala ahead of his campaign to Nakawa Division in Kampala on Monday morning.
