Uganda: Anti-corruption activists plan protest at parliament in Kampala July 23
Anti-corruption activits to march to parliament in Kampala, Uganda, July 23. Increased security, disruptions likely.
Anti-corruption activists plan to march to parliament in Kampala on July 23. No starting points have been announced. Participants may gather in different areas of the city center before converging on parliament. It is unclear whether authorities have sanctioned the gathering, which may draw hundreds of participants.
Heightened security and localized traffic disruptions are likely in the vicinity of the parliament. Clashes with security forces remain possible, as security forces are known to employ heavy-handed tactics, notably if authorities have not granted permission for actions to go ahead.
Avoid the parliament area on July 23. If violence breaks out, leave the area immediately and take shelter in a secure, nongovernmental building. Abide by all official directives.
