A video has surfaced showing opposition leader Zainab Fatuma being roughed up and stripped by police before being bundled onto a waiting police van.
It is reported that members of the Forum for Democratic Change’s (FDC) National Executive Committee led by Kizza Besigye were travelling to western Uganda for a party function when they were ambushed by police, roughed up and detained for hours.
Some of those arrested were released only after the intervention of foreign diplomats who are closely monitoring the rapidly deteroriating political situation in Uganda.
Police in Rukungiri where Besigye was scheduled to hold a rally reportedly arrested people who were pasting posters of the FDC flag bearer.
The Uganda Law Society (ULS) has condemned the manner in which police arrested Fatuma, saying they acted unconstitutionally.
ULS’s President Ruth Sebatindira has said that the police must now bring the perpetrators to book. See full video below:

The scenario was quite bad and heart breaking. Africa is still Africa, a land of backward people
Indeed Africa a land of backward people by so doing what do you achieve.
UMWAUME U ARE STUPID.IF U HAVE NOTHING TO SAY ABOUT AFRICA,THEN SHUT UP.AFRICA Z A GUD CONTINENT BUT RULED BY OPPRESIVE AND SELFISH RULERS FROM THE TIME OF THE SLAVE TRADE WEN OUR CHIEFS AND KINGS SOLD THEIR OWN PIPO FOR MONEY.
And you say ZP is brutal when Edith and hh have never been treated like this.
Anyway that was silly.
Nawakwi, my own advice to you is that uzivala tuma skin tight tubili-double plus ka pedal push na jeans pamwamba, otherwise we’ll also see what your mother gave you…kkkkk!
ZP ili chee. Nawakwi is lucky. We have a Police service zoona.
It’s very sad. Coz it goes against african cultures
unfortunatly she did’t wear nangu kabamba mukati
Democracy in africa is still very far from being appreciated, most especially by our so called leaders. Doing this to appease a very greedy man somewhere, shame on us.
2016 Elections, this scenario is coming to a place near you.
Iye chi NEZ unaonako Zambian Police treat bene Nawakwi like that even when she openly disrespects the President?
Ala ba NEZ kuwayawayafye mami. The past election defeats have left him like that(Ukusabaila emo bwachela)
This is both sad and entertaining.
Idiot!
Ubupuba tatulya ok afican
This is very sad. Shame on Museveni and his uniformed police. I can’t believe this is happening. I hope these guys will be dismissed. Awe in Africa twasebana
Worse scenes will be happening in Zambia should we allow Edgar Lungu to continue governing. Please vote in numbers so that together we can bury Edgar lungu at Embassy Park.
They are civilized ways of getting someone out of power zambia is a democratic country not efyo naimwee tamwa sambilila? Nangula muli ndoshi?
africa is indeed backward.
This is very sad indeed, whatever we have borrowed from Whites from Football, Markets, Politics……etc, is indeed borrowed, full of shiit in the way we practice it!
Why upload such video`s.that woman is more like your mother.grow up…..
So foolish,the all forgot that the same woman they undressed and what ever they saw,even their mothers has the same! Its so shameful,if any one has no respect for any woman then how can he /she respect his /her mother.
This is just a replica of what we should expect in PF as the country heads towards the tripartite elections. Because the tone of the likes of Chishimba Kambwili, Mumbi Phiri and Chama is the living testimony to this.
Is Africa ever going to change? It’s so sad
Sad and stupid
Sad indeed though we should not blame the police entirely. I am sure these people were cautioned a number of times prior to been stripped naked.
very sad indeed,One wonders what it will take to kick the shit out some of these African presidents and their so called law enforcers in uniforms
ba police bale unfwa bwino ukutamba ba mumwena apatali
please lets be human,the way you want to be treated that’s how you should treat others.
quite sad
The scene is despicable & distasteful. To me Edgar is the most gentle president Zambia has ever had. Why?
KK, Chiluba Levy, Rb and even shi Michael used to react on occations. But despite innuendos by the post and other media, the man has remained a gentle man.
The truth is that the woman in question stripped herself naked as a way of protesting. No policeman undressed her.
You guys can’t you see that from what has been shown the woman undressed herself? Do you have eyes to see?
whats more shocking is that her fellow women did that to her.
Thats what I cant understand.
African we are monkeys and backwards
Thats sad. Really sad.
Such things should D NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVERNEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER be allowed to happen in our beloved country, ZAMBIA. Museveni is a rogue. Just like Idi Amin.
Lord have mercy. Can’t believe what i saw.
Muyala & Twapenga are u blind or senseless?How can this woman with marked personality undress herself? Pleaz just scan ur brains before reacting anything.
I hate such abominable state abuse of power! Africa twasebana!!
@PETER,
Surely Peter do you have to insult me for expressing my views? Are you blind to see what has continued taking place in Africa such as killing foreigners in S/Africa, unending conflicts in Sudan, Egypt, Boko Haram, unstable DRC/Zimbabwe to mention a few? Do you have five senses or your mother only gave you 2 senses at birth because of the pain you inflicted on her due to labor pains? If you call me a Stupid person for no reason, its because you have the same line of thought with those idiots in the video. Is your mother alive? Go back to her to teach you how we live with people. UMWANA UWATUMPA, ATUKISHA NYINA.
That is the problem of most african president of over staying in office.Museveni is one of them were opposition leaders have been treated badly.Criticism and opposition parties are the best ingredient of true democracy.Please do not bury those two and in absence of it,it we lack good leadership.
