| | Amnesty International's report on Human Rights in Uganda (1986-1987) painted a grim picture and did not mince words. Surprisingly, it was widely reported in the Ugandan media. 'Amnesty criticises Uganda' was the headline in the government newspaper New vision. The outspoken publication of the (Catholic) Democratic Party (DP) wrote that 'Amnesty identifies cause of fighting in N. Uganda' and included photos of two men severely scarred after being allegedly beaten by soldiers of the National Resistance Army (NRA). Topic, a weekly read by the intelligentsia, ran the headline: 'Amnesty concerned at reports of killing in the North' . |
