The Directorate of CID is calling upon all concerned people from all over the country, to contact it at CID Headquarters Kibuli, about two separate videos of torture, that went viral and are suspected to have occurred within our country. In one of the videos, a vulnerable woman dressed in a blue blouse and black skirt/short, is subjected to torture where she was forcefully curved in an awkward position, her hands and legs tied, and her body burnt with hot melting droplets from a burning plastic jerrycan.
In a separate video, two male workers are confined in a container, and subjected to physical and mental torture- including physical beatings with a belt, kickings and hitting.
Torture is among the grievous crimes that the police investigates. As a result, the CID have already opened an enquiry into the terrible images and disturbing crime and do call upon the victims to come forward and help our detectives explore the torture in great detail. We shall not stop until the alleged perpetrators are identified and brought to justice.
We also want to remind the public, employers, boda boda movements and associations, that we all have a great responsibility to protect and have compassion for each other. It is inhuman to treat a fellow human being in such a horrible manner. Moreso, in a decent and moral society like ours. For any information call our operations toll free lines 0800199699
