In their message for commemoration of the Human Rights Day event held in Kampala, the coalition’s Executive Director, Robert Kirenga said that provisions like Section 44 Non- Governmental Organizations Act prevents NGOs from participating in  some political issues but that what  is political is not clearly defined.

He also says provisions in the Anti-Money Laundering Act under which only a commercial bank declares money received suspicious and alerts the Financial Intelligence Authority without informing a specific NGO affected.

Kirenga says as such most of their accounts have been frozen under unclear circumstances.

Rights defenders yesterday launched an advocacy report titled, “Human Rights Defenders at Crossroads”
