Closure of independent media outlets
published on 27.05.2013 by admin
KAMPALA – The Foreign Correspondents‘ Association of Uganda (FCAU) is extremely concerned by the closure of independent Ugandan media outlets by armed police officers. One week ago the Uganda Police shut down three newspapers – the Daily Monitor, Red Pepper and Kamunye – and forced radio stations KFM and Dembe off the air. They are yet to reopen. FCAU strongly condemns any in-fringement on the freedom of the press.
