press release

This submission, based primarily on research conducted by Human Rights Watch, highlights concerns about Uganda's compliance with its international human rights obligations since its last Universal Periodic Review (UPR) in 2016.

It focuses on the rights to freedom of expression, assembly, and association, including attacks on peaceful political opposition, violations of rights by the security forces, violence and harassment at work, impunity and lack of prosecutions for serious crimes, forced evictions, the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people, children's rights, and the protection of persons with disabilities from shackling.
