Ugandan civil society organisations have asked their government to enact a law criminalising torture before the 2011 general elections.

“We call upon the Government to affirm its commitment to eliminate torture in Uganda by enacting the prevention of torture Bill into law," says Chairperson of the Uganda Human Rights Commission, Meddie Kaggwa.

Kaggwa says the current laws on torture are inadequate, and although torture is covered in the Anti-Terrorism Act of 2002, it only applies to authorised officers.

In the same vein, the African Centre for Treatment and Rehabilitation of Torture Victims chief, Samuel Nsubuga, said they conducted a study in 2007 which showed that torture cases are common during elections.
