Uganda youths plan march on parliament amid threats from President Museveni
Some Ugandan youth are planning to march to the country’s Parliament tomorrow Tuesday to make known their frustrations over their government’s handling of corruption. But speaking Saturday, President Yoweri Museveni told the youths to think twice about their planned action. Kiiza Eron, a Ugandan human rights lawyer & environmentalist and one of those who signed a letter calling on the police to respect the constitutional right of Ugandans to demonstrate, tells VOA’s James Butty, the police should only deploy to help Ugandans exercise their constitutional right to protest.
