Activists under the pressure group, People Power have demanded on foreign powers to institute an International Commission of Inquiry into the violence, arrests, detention and torture of opposition Members of Parliament and their supporters during the Arua Municipality by-elections.
MPs who include; Gerald Karuhanga, Paul Mwiru, Arua municipality MP-Elect Kassiano Wadri along with other 30 civians were arrested but Francis Zaake, of Mityana Municipality MP and Robert Kyagulanyi, were allegedly tortured during their arrests in Arua.
The Secretary General for People Power, Ivan Kyeyune believes that the Heads of Missions are too silent on what is happened in Uganda only that they would have condemned the brutalities and demanded on the release of Kyadondo East MP Robert Kyagulanyi and other people that were arrested in Arua.
This comes as the President Uganda Law Society President Simon Peter Kinobe had promised to petition the constitutional court for interpretation on the action of detaining a civilian in a military facility and charging him before the court martial.
In a related development, the Local Musician Innocent Kiyaga aka Dr. Hilderman has called on president M7 to visit Bobi Wine to establish for himself his health status than relying on what he called unfounded reports from the State Medical doctors and security personnel.
Kyagulanyi is still held at Makindye military barracks waiting to be arraigned before the court martial this Thursday 23rd August.
Makindye East Mp Ibrahim Kasozi says president Museveni’s statement in regard to Bobi Wine’s health situation are based on a third party who does not know the situation the victim is undergoing.
Kasozi who is among the few mps that visited Kyagulanyi in the Makindye barracks yesterday, explains that by the physical appearance, Bobi Wine has pain in his hip, cannot sit or stand, bruised on the head and could have developed a kidney problem.
The parliament commissioner Peter Ogwanga in a statement last evening accused the media of exaggerating Kyagulanyi’s health situation which Kasozi says was misleading.
