A resident of Mbarara City has accused a police officer attached to Katete Police Post of subjecting him to torture during interrogation over a motor vehicle theft case.
Junior Musa, a resident of Katete Central, claims he was physically assaulted by a junior officer who allegedly beat him for several hours in an attempt to force a confession.
According to Musa, the incident occurred while he was in custody facing allegations of motor vehicle theft. He alleges that the officer subjected him to continuous beating for approximately three hours, raising concerns about the conduct of law enforcement officers during suspect interrogations.
The Uganda Police Force in the Rwizi region has acknowledged the complaint. Regional Police spokesperson, Samson Kasasira, confirmed that a general inquiries file has been opened to investigate the matter.
Under Ugandan law, suspects are entitled to protection from cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment, and any evidence obtained through coercion is inadmissible in court.
Authorities have not yet commented on whether the accused officer has been suspended pending investigations.
