The security situation in the Kampala Metropolitan area remains stable and peaceful, with citizens carrying on their daily activities without disruptions.
Unfortunately, during the operation, 14 journalists were arrested due to challenges in identification from the crowd. These journalists were briefly taken to Entebbe Police Station, but upon identification, they were released immediately. None of the journalists were held in our cells.
While they were at police station, no journalists initially reported any assaults. However, we have since received reports indicating that some of them may have been subjected to physical harm.
We are committed to identifying the affected journalists and conducting thorough investigations into these incidents.
