Uganda's National Unity Platform (NUP) political party has filed a case with the high court in Kampala to compel security agencies to release 18 of its supporters who have been missing for nearly two years.
The supporters reportedly disappeared during the heated 2021 election period, when NUP leader Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, popularly known as Bobi Wine, ran for president.
The supporters' whereabouts are unknown, but their families and NUP party leaders believe that they were unlawfully arrested and are still being detained by security forces.
Last October, Uganda's official human rights body closed investigations into the disappearances, saying it had been unable to locate them.
The commission also said that it had been unable to verify some of the missing reports.
