The National Unity Platform (NUP) party principal Robert Kyagulanyi alias Bobi Wine has revealed that his party is considering international legal action against the regime for alleged crimes committed by security forces against his party members and supporters.

Bobi Wine says that since campaigns security forces have been kidnapping and torturing his team in various safe houses across the country. He states that they are now compiling the full list of missing persons.

“Panda-gari is back in full force. Political activists and ordinary citizens have now come to dread these vehicles commonly known as drones. Countless Ugandans have been abducted and taken to unknown places. Those who are lucky to return speak of horrifying stories of torture,” says Bobi Wine.
