In a pre‑emptive operation, police forces in the capital raided the headquarters of the People’s Freedom Front (PFF) early Tuesday morning, sealing the premises and detaining senior activist Maya Kintu. The arrests come days before a scheduled mass march demanding accountability for recent police shootings. Authorities cited “unlawful assembly planning” and “incitement to violence” as justification for the crackdown. Human rights groups have condemned the move, labeling it an attempt to stifle dissent. The PFF has vowed to proceed with the protest, stating that the detention of its members only strengthens their resolve.
