(Source: AP photo)Concern is rising in Uganda over the alleged forced disappearances of dissidents across the country in the lead-up to and following last month’s general election. Kirumira says several NUP members were picked up from their homes by unidentified security operatives traveling in vans without number plates. “The reason why people are saying security is kidnapping Ugandans is because the mode of arrest is completely against the constitution,” he told DW. “It is true many of the incidents were perpetrated by numberless tinted vehicles,” he told DW. “The act of abductions, kidnappings and enforced disappearance is a relic of dictatorship,” Sewanyana told DW.
