Ugandan police will block planned protests by four opposition leaders who lost the Feb. 18 presidential elections to President Yoweri Museveni because they are likely to degenerate into riots, Kale Kayihura, the Inspector General of Police, said.
Police will take “firm and resolute actions” against any person organizing, intending to hold or participating in the planned “unlawful demonstrations,” Kayihura said today in an e-mailed statement.
