The abduction followed Mr Mukose’s appearance on a radio talk show where he discussed the Constitutional Court’s recent decision to nullify key provisions of the Computer Misuse Act, citing violations of rights and due process.
The Uganda Journalists Association (UJA) condemned the incident, describing it as an attack on press freedom and the safety of media practitioners. The association called for Mukose’s immediate and unconditional release and urged security agencies to provide an explanation regarding the circumstances of his disappearance.
