4GC women activists flash their boobs before police
There was drama at Kampala central police station this morning when a group of half naked women paraded breasts causing mesmerized cops to ‘riot’.
The women were demonstrating the manner in which opposition FDC iron lady Ingrid Turinawe was arrested last week.
A cross section of Ugandans including the recently vocal government critic Bishop Zac Nyiringiye has condemned the inhuman manner in which Ingrid was arrested in Nansana after a planned rally under the new pressure group For God and My Counrty (AGC) was launched.
Ingrid said she was harassed by cops who squeezed her breasts during the arrest. She said she witnessed sexual terrorism for the first time in her life.
Police this morning moved to arrest the demonstrators and fired teargas at bewildered reporters who were covering the unusual event.
Those arrested include Ingrid’s aide Happy Twinomugisha, Barbara Alimadi, Aisha Nagudi, Harriet Nakiyemba,Winfred Nakajubi and Teo Namutebi.
Kampala Metropolitan Police Commander Andrew Felix Kaweesi said at CPS that after cautioning and counseling the women, police had to release them and warned that next time they would not escape jail.
“Indeed these women had committed a public nuisance offence which is unlawful that’s why we apprehended them to prevent them from inciting violence as well,” a bewildered Kaweesi explained.
He also disclosed that police have established new restrictions on journalists who wish to cover any story at any of the police stations across the country. He said that the restrictions are intended to avoid confusion about police actions.
