Ugandan authorities have detained prominent rights campaigner and government critic, a lawyer and executive director of the Centre for Constitutional Governance (CCG), ahead of upcoming elections. The CCG could not be immediately reached for comment. The detention occurs amidst broader concerns about an intensifying crackdown on the opposition, with reports of numerous detentions of supporters and alleged intimidation tactics. This follows similar detentions of opposition figures and alleged abuses by security forces during campaign periods.
