Richard Kabonero and your sycophant Emusaazi
Please read the following ...pay special attention to the one I have underlined.... and then see if your nonsense below make any sense!!!

IV. Cases of Torture and Arbitrary Detention
INTERNATIONAL LAW FORBIDS the use of torture, or cruel, inhuman or
degrading treatment or punishment.27 According to the Convention against Torture and
Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment:
“torture” means any act by which severe pain or suffering, whether physical
or
> mental, is intentionally inflicted on a person for such purposes as
> obtaining from him or a third person information or a confession, punishing him for
> an act he or a third person has committed or is suspected of having
> committed, or intimidating or coercing him or a third person, or for any reason based
> on discrimination of any kind, when such pain or suffering is inflicted by or
> at the instigation of or with the consent or acquiescence of a public
> official or other person acting in an official capacity. It does not include pain
> or suffering arising only from, inherent in or incidental to lawful sanctions.
> 28
UGANDA HAS RATIFIED BOTH INTERNATIONAL COVENANT ON CIVIL AND POLITICAL RIGHTS
(ICCPR) and the Covention against Torture and other Cruel, Inhuman or
Degrading Treatment or punishment (CAT).
It has not, however, made a declaration under Article 22 of the CAT allowing
the Committee Against Torture, the United Nations (U.N.) body which monitors
compliance with the CAT, to consider complaints by individuals from Uganda.
Nor has it ratified the new Optional Protocol to the CAT allowing visits to
Uganda by the Committee against Torture’s Subcommittee on Prevention of Torture
and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment.29
THE UGANDAN CONSTITUTION ALSO OUTLAWS TORTURE.
.30Despite these government commitments in international and national law,
the Ugandan Human Rights Commission (UHRC), a government-created body,31 says, “
torture is on the increase and, during the period under review [January
2001-September 2002], more cases than ever had been received” by the Commission.32
According to the Foundation for Human Rights Initiative (FHRI), a Ugandan human
rights group, “since 2001, many human rights violations in breach of the
rights to life, liberty and security of person have been recorded.”33 Human Rights
Watch’s recent interviews with prisoners and others in Uganda confirm these
conclusions.
In short, therefore, Mwami Kabonero your NRM military dictatorship is , by
torturing Ugandans, is NOT only breaking INTERNATIONAL LAW but also acting
contrary to the constitution of Uganda.
This implies the NRM dictatorship becomes an outlaw among civilized nations
of the world as well as in the eyes of Ugandans. It in fact becomes NO
different then a bunch Terrorist
.........and when a a regime becomes an outlaw, it is the legitimate right of
citizens of Uganda to get reed of such regime by any means necessary...the
quicker the better!!!

"The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the
people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It
thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to
repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by
extension, the truth becomes the greatest enemy of the state."
