Mutyabula nursing injuries at Case Clinic yesterday

Three aides of Forum for Democratic Change president Kizza Besigye were admitted to Case Clinic after they were clobbered by police as they dispersed crowds at Kawempe Police Station following a botched rally.

Martin Byomuhangi, Yusuf Matovu, Mutyabula Kayondo and another identified only as Nasur were a bloody mess after cops thumped them while dispersing crowds at a rally organised by Activists For Change (A4C) at Kawempe grounds Thursday evening.
Besigye condemned police acts of aggression against opposition supporters and also accused them of being reactionary and acting on impulse even when they are not under threat from the crowds. He said police actions are always inspired by fear and intimidation from crowds saying the crowds only resort to throwing stones as the last line of defence.

The A4C officials have meanwhile postponed their Kololo rally that was slated for this afternoon reportedly to first exhaust the Kampala Metropolitan region.
