Ugandan Editors Held Over Cartoon
Three
editors from a Ugandan magazine have been questioned
over a cartoon criticising President Yoweri Museveni.
Falling Foul
The Criminal Investigations Directorate is
investigating reports of sedition after a caricature
of the President appeared in The Independent
magazine last week.
According to local reports, the three men will be
interrogated again.
Concerns
Meanwhile, the Committee to Protect Journalists has
expressed serious concerns over constraints to Press
Freedom in Uganda, as the number of criminal charges
against journalists in the country is increasing.
