The Rwanda Police Service has arrested Ugandan IGP Kale Kayihura for
the International Criminal Court after IGP failed to honour its
invitation weeks ago.
The International Criminal Court weeks ago sent an invitation to the
IGP of Uganda Police Force Kayihura over several police brutalities
which are believed to be carried on per his instructions.
The Police Chief who thinks his powers go beyond Uganda failed to
honour the invitation and as per the ICC laws, he has to be arrested for
the ICC whenever he travels to any country.
Ugandans were on last month treated to shocking scenes of police
officers caning supporters of Opposition leader, Dr Kizza Besigye, in
separate incidents in Kampala.
Police chief Kale Kayihura called a press conference at the police
headquarters in Naguru in days later and indicated that the beating of
civilians, which has been widely condemned by the public and human
rights activists, were carried on per his instructions and sees nothing
wrong with it.
The Uganda Police Force was captured on cameras beating some
supporters of opposition leader Kizza Besigye’s party as they celebrated
his return from prison. Some police men on a police patrol truck whose
number plate is UP 4916 are seen canning road side supporters in a move
to clear the road for a convoy to pass.
