In a pre‑emptive move to curb potential unrest, police forces raided the headquarters of the Progressive Freedom Front (PFF) in Kampala early Tuesday morning, sealing the premises and detaining senior activist Aisha Nanyanzi. The operation came just days before the PFF’s scheduled march demanding electoral reforms and greater civil liberties. Authorities cited a pending court order related to alleged incitement and unlawful assembly. Human rights groups have condemned the arrests as an attempt to stifle dissent, calling for Nanyanzi’s immediate release. The PFF has vowed to proceed with the march, urging supporters to remain peaceful despite the crackdown.
