November riots report: Stray bullets killed 39 victims

 


What you need to know:

  • None of the security personnel who took lives of unarmed citizens has been arrested or tried.

A report of an internal government investigations into the 2020 November riot killings has revealed that 39 out of the 54, or 72 percent, of people shot dead were hit by “stray bullets”.



Police Criminal Investigations Director, AIGP Grace Akullo, prepared the report and transmitted it to the Inspector General of Police, Mr Martins Okoth-Ochola, on December 5, 2020.


Whereas the government shared a copy of the report with diplomats representing countries that are members of the United Nations Security Council, the findings were kept secret from Ugandans until this newspaper began serialising the report last Monday to mark one-year anniversary of the protests.
