Police on Saturday evening arrested and detained two journalists reporting for the BBC World Service in Northern Uganda.
The Arrested according to preliminary reports are Catherine
Byaruhanga, who reports for the British media house in Uganda, as well
as well as Kelvin Brown who was working the video camera for her.
Kelvin is BBC’s video journalist and photographer covering Africa and the Middle East.
The two were reportedly picked up and detained after they were found
filming outside Abim Hospital in Abim district in Northern Uganda.
This is the same dilapidated hospital that was visited by Forum for
Democratic Change Presidential Candidate Col Dr Kizza Besigye weeks ago,
compelling government to ban visits by politicians and media coverage
of health facilities in the country during the election season.
