Two Ugandan journalists murdered

Ugandan journalist Paul Kiggundu was beaten to death by a gang of motorcycle taxi drivers because he filmed them demolishing the house of another driver, who they considered guilty of murder. They accused Kiggundu, who worked for a Christian TV station, TOP (Tower of Praise) , of spying for the police. Three days later, on 13 September, another Ugandan journalist, Dickson Ssentongo , was battered to death with metal bars by unknown assailants. The 29-year-old news anchor with Prime Radio in Luganda, was also involved in local opposition politics. Source: IFEX
