Families of 18 Missing NUP Supporters Seek Justice at High Court

Families of 18 National Unity Platform (NUP) supporters have rallied at the High Court in Kampala, demanding justice and answers for their missing loved ones. The families, concerned about the disappearance of their relatives, are seeking accountability from the government for the alleged abductions.

NUP officials and family members argue that the missing individuals were abducted by security forces between 2019 and 2021 due to their political affiliations. They claim that these actions violate fundamental human rights and are demanding information about their loved ones’ whereabouts.

The relatives have filed a petition in court, urging the judiciary to hold the government accountable and compel it to provide information regarding the missing individuals. Their pleas highlight the struggles faced by opposition supporters and their families in Uganda.

The NUP, Uganda’s main opposition party, has been vocal about the government’s crackdown on its supporters, emphasizing the need for transparency and justice. The families hope that their efforts will bring attention to the issue and prompt the authorities to respond to their concerns.

As the case unfolds, human rights organizations and political groups continue to advocate for the missing individuals, pushing for the government to provide clarity and address the concerns raised by their families.
