Situation at Kati Kati As Police Seal Off Gate, Block PLU’s March to Parliament
Ugandan police have sealed off the gate at Kati Kati, stopping members of the Patriotic League of Uganda (PLU) from marching to Parliament. The authorities have assembled at the scene and ordered the group not to proceed with their planned demonstration.
PLU members had gathered early in the morning, ready to march, but were met with a heavy police presence.
Officers swiftly moved in, blocking all exits and preventing movement toward Parliament. The exact reasons for the blockade remain unclear, but sources suggest the authorities were concerned about public safety and potential unrest.
Eyewitnesses report tensions between the protesters and the police, with some PLU members demanding to be allowed to proceed peacefully. However, security officials stood firm, insisting the march could not continue.
The Patriotic League of Uganda has been vocal in recent months, pushing for political and economic reforms. It is unclear whether the group had received official clearance for their demonstration.
As the situation unfolds, authorities have urged calm, while PLU leaders have not yet issued a formal statement. More updates are expected as the standoff continues.
