That is taking place in all parts of the country,\u201d said Mpuuga.<\/p>\n<p>He said that leaders cannot be part of the face of torture and that they will abscond from Parliament sittings for the next two weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Mpuuga demanded that security operatives maiming Ugandans should be arraigned before court.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier, Ms Among had appealed to the Opposition to allow the government time to present a comprehensive statement on the matter on Tuesday next week.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere was an issue that was raised in this House about torture, the people who are being tortured, and the missing people. The list was laid on the table and we need an explanation from the Attorney General on the whereabouts of the missing people and what the government is doing to have these people released. We gave you two weeks and the two weeks end on Tuesday,\u201d said Among in part.<\/p>\n<p>She added that Parliament expects a comprehensive report from the Attorney General, Kiryowa Kiwanuka on what action has been taken.<\/p>\n<p>However, Mpuuga demanded that the plenary sitting be suspended until the government provides accountability for missing citizens, detention without trial including their colleagues Muhammad Ssegirinya, representing Kawempe North and Makindye West MP Allan Ssewanya, and torture.<\/p>\n<p>Attempts by Among to convince Mpuuga to wait for a government statement fell on deaf ears.<\/p>\n<p>Mpuuga said that the government is taking citizens for granted and has taken so long to respond to the issues presented before parliament.<\/p>\n<p>However, some NRM MPs condemned the act of their fellow legislators. Geoffrey Macho, the Busia Municipality MP said that the actions of their colleagues were not necessary as parliament is a temple where issues should be discussed. He wondered how issues will be resolved with walkouts.<\/p>\n<p>Solomon Silwany, the Bukhooli Central MP said that it is always important to discuss issues rather than resorting to protests.<\/p>\n<p>Deputy Speaker Among said that she would never call off Parliament when she has offered solutions.<\/p>\n<p><b>READ:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Besigye writes to Bobi, Muntu over regime change<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Whereas it is a right of our colleagues to walk out of a parliamentary session, I feel there was still room for engagement. They\u2019ve walked out on us but we won\u2019t walk out on them. We shall look into their issues &amp; respond accordingly,&#8221; said Government Chief Whip, Mr Thomas Tayebwa.<\/p>\n<p>The Opposition has since the 2021 general elections campaigns complained about abduction of its supporters and torture of those detained. A formal statement on the matter with a list of missing persons was presented to the House for action by government but the responsible Ministers are yet to respond to the different queries by MPs.<\/p>\n<p><b>Worsening restrictions on civic space in Uganda<\/b><\/p>\n<p>After the 40th session of Universal Periodic Review of human rights held in Geneva, Switzerland on January 24, 2022 the U.S said in a January 27 statement delivered by Delaney Felker, Foreign Affairs Officer, that it\u2019s concerned about worsening restrictions on civic space in Uganda.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe United States appreciates Uganda\u2019s longstanding policy of open borders for refugees seeking safety, including ongoing efforts to support individuals from Afghanistan relocated by private organizations. However, we remain concerned about worsening restrictions on civic space,\u201d the statement reads in part.<\/p>\n<p><b>Recommendations<\/b><\/p>\n<p>In its recommendation, the U.S said Uganda should lift ongoing suspensions of civil society organizations to contribute to promoting and protecting freedom of peaceful assembly and freedom of association; pursue a full accounting of the violence and killings committed leading up to the 2021 elections, particularly enforced disappearances and the November 2020 actions of security forces, to ensure accountability and build public trust in institutions; and lastly, ensure respect for the human rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and intersex persons, including by ending the use of forced anal examinations on them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/uganda\">Uganda<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Uganda.
