Uganda Court Releases Red Pepper Editors

by 439 Comments

Uganda-  The eight (8) Red Pepper editors and senior managers arrested in Uganda on November based on charges of libel, offensive communication and publication of information prejudicial to security were granted bail pending further judicial proceedings on decvember 23, 2017.

On 21 November, police operatives removed eight directors and editors from their offices at Pepper Publications Group The eight– Richard Tusiime, Johnson Musinguzi, Patrick Mugumya, Arinatiwe Rugyendo, Richard Kintu, Ben Byarabaha, Francis Tumusiime, and James Mujuni were detained at Nalufenya Police Detention Centre in Jinja.

The following day, the editors were forced to reveal computer passwords to police detectives who were attempting to establish the source of a story published by Red Pepper on November 20, concerning an alleged plot to overthrow the government of neighbouring Rwanda.

The Buganda Road Court granted non-cash bail of Shs20 million to the eight Red Pepper editors and senior managers on Tuesday, 19th December. Their sureties were also bonded at Shs20 million each.

On 4 December, WAN-IFRA wrote to President Yoweri Museveni to protest the arrests as well as the handling of the case. In its letter condemning the treatment of the eight Red Pepper staff, WAN-IFRA also highlighted the deteriorating situation for media freedom in Uganda.

“We take this opportunity to express our growing unease at the way media is being treated in Uganda. Editors from media houses such as Monitor Publications Ltd. and Vision Group have recently been summoned to the Criminal Investigations and Intelligence Directorate regarding stories they have published. Although they have not been officially charged in court, this trend of summoning and interrogating editors is likely to instill further concern among journalists across the country. Such actions will likely lead to an increase in self-censorship and an understandable reluctance to pursue future stories for fear of recrimination or legal harassment.”

It also added that for journalists already struggling under what is a difficult climate for professional journalism, “the actions of the security forces – and apparent willingness of the government to pursue legal action against media as a means of stifling reporting into issues of clear public interest and national importance – severely infringes on the freedom of the press to carry out its essential watchdog role.”

    Das können Sie versuchen: Ein weiteres seriöses Online Casino mit guten Gewinnchancen und ebenso gutem RTP ist Betano. Bei Betano darfst du dich auf eine Auszahlungsquote im Bereich von 96 % freuen. Mehr als nur konkurrenzfähig. Die GGL-Lizenz sorgt für Sicherheit. Un alt tip de simbol frecvent întâlnite la un joc de păcănele online este simbolul Wild. Cel mai iubit simbol, pentru că îndeplineşte rolul de joker și poate înlocui alte simboluri din jocul de păcănele pentru a susţine câştigul, simbolul Wild te ajuta să realizezi mai uşor combinaţii câştigătoare. Însă e bine să ştii şi că există câteva simboluri care nu pot fi înlocuite de simbolul Wild: simbolurile scatter, rotirile gratuite sau rundele bonus. Ja, bei Betano gibt es sogar eine eigene Kategorie mit den beliebten Megaways™ Slots. Mit dabei sind unter anderem Big Bass Bonanza Megaways, Chilli Heat Megaways, Wolf Power Megaways oder Crystal Caverns Megaways.

In diesem Video wird eine betrügerische App beworben: Wie man bei Sweet bonanza seine Einsätze strategisch platziert. Drachen bedeuten in den verschiedenen Mythologien unterschiedliches, Zahlungsmethoden. Gravity Bonanza Einer der alarmierendsten Trends bei diesen Betrügereien ist die Nutzung von Deepfake-Technologie. Deepfakes sind von KI erzeugte Videos, die es so aussehen lassen können, als würde jemand etwas sagen oder tun, was er tatsächlich nie gesagt oder getan hat. Betrüger verwenden diese Technologie, um gefälschte Anzeigen zu erstellen, in denen Prominente wie Ronaldo, Beckham oder Mr. Beast Sweet Bonanza oder ähnliche Spiele bewerben.
