The High Court in Kampala has ordered the government of Uganda to pay MP Zaake 75M. Last year. police roughed up and badly beat the Mityana Municipality MP.
The police say they did that because Zaake violated government covid guidelines while giving out food to his people. The police detained him at Mityana Police Station and this is where the torture took place.
However, the officers who were there said they didn’t torture him at all. They blamed the scars on him on handcuffs.
The State Minister for Internal Affairs, Obiga Kania while speaking before parliament last year said Zaake was never tortured.
“Hon Zaake held the metallic door of the cells and also placed one leg inside in between metal bars so that it is difficult for police to pull him out. FFU personnel pulled him out by force from the metallic bars.
According to the statement of the car commander, Hon Zaake kept on knocking himself on the metals of the pick-up. It is probable that these injuries were as a result of the knocking.”
Justice Esta Nambayo ruled the case in favor of Zaake.
According to all the evidence Zaake presented, it turns out police actually tortured him. It is on these grounds that she rules that government pay Zaake 75M.
“A declaration is hereby issued that the period between the 19th/04/2020 and the 29th 805 /04/2020, 10 days, that the applicant was detained for more than 48hrs before he was arraigned in the Chief Magistrate’s Court at Mityana.”
“It is hereby ordered that the first respondent(Attorney General) pays a sum of shs75 million to the applicant(Zaake) in compensation of violations of his rights and freedoms.”
