“The attacks on the journalists is a violation of article 41 of the Uganda Constitution which guarantees the right to access to information , ” said UJU President Lucy Anyango Ekadu.


She said there is no way journalists will continue working under such conditions when they are beaten and their equipment damaged.
The UJU President called on all journalists who have been beaten and their equipment destroyed to open up cases against perpetrators of the crimes against the media.
