Former Prime Minister Amama Mbabazi has condemned torture by security forces.
In his first public address since losing in the 2016 presidential election, Mbabazi says torture is unacceptable and goes against the laws of Uganda.
Mbabazi said that as a member of the National Resistance Movement party-NRM, one of the things they fought for was freedom of the people regardless of their opinions.
The armed forces have come under heavy criticism from several stakeholders for torturing political opponents of the NRM government.
Mbabazi was speaking to the press about the African Global Security Foundation launched on February 13 in Dakar, Senegal.
