Thank you for your feedback. Some detainees have had joints or genitals beaten with wires, been burned with cigarettes, or had fingernails torn out.

Many of those abducted have suffered significant and potentially lasting physical and psychological harm. Yuya Kamya, 53, was woken at 2am on 22 December when armed men broke down the door to his home in Katoogo village, 32km east of Uganda’s capital, Kampala.
