Wife sues ISO

THE wife of an Internal Security Organisation (ISO) official who has gone missing, has filed court proceedings against the intelligence body�s director Henry Tumukunde to produce him in court.

In the application filed at the High Court in Kampala, Winnie Kugonza alleges that her husband Francis Kugonza, attached to the President�s Office at Nakasero, was arrested on December 13.

She said that since he was arrested by ISO personnel he has never been seen again.
The application, filed by Wycliffe Birungi, has been fixed for hearing before a High Court judge.

�Francis Kugonza was arrested by officials from the Internal Security headquarters and has never been released.

�The said officials arrested my husband while on official duty assigned to him,� Kugonza alleges in her affidavit sworn in support of the application.

Kugonza also alleges that her husband was later taken away from the ISO headquarters to an unknown place �without charges being brought against him, and has never been produced before any court whatsoever�.

�I have made several attempts to trace the whereabouts of my husband, including going to the Central Police Station in Kampala, Kibuye Police Station and the Internal Security Organisation headquarters. However I have failed to trace his whereabouts,� she said in her affidavit.
