In Uganda, five activists were arrested Thursday as they protested the government’s decision to close the country’s U.N. human rights office. The activists were from the group Torture Survivors Movement Uganda and said that without the U.N. agency’s presence, they felt “helpless in the world” against actions by the government of Yoweri Museveni. This comes just months after a U.N. committee said Ugandan forces regularly committed human rights abuses, including torture, excessive use of force, and arbitrary detention.
