UGANDA: MONITOR OFFICES UNDER POLICE SIEGE
Description
Freedom of the press in Uganda is under threat. On May 20, armed police surrounded the offices of the Monitor. Detectives searched the building. They shut down KFM and Dembe, the two radio stations which are owned by the Monitor’s parent company, Monitor Publications, which operate out of the same building.

Red Pepper, the boisterous tabloid, was given the same treatment. The government has grown increasingly angry about the media’s coverage of what has become known as the General David Sejusa affair. The Monitor broke the story and has reported it objectively and accurately.
