In a shocking act of protest, a group of demonstrators stripped naked outside Uganda’s Parliament building on Monday, September 2nd, to highlight their grievances against corruption.
The bold move sparked outrage and immediate intervention from security forces.
The protestors, believed to be part of the Gen-Z anti-corruption movement, marched towards the Parliament building, their bodies adorned with messages demanding accountability from government officials.
Their actions were a stark and graphic statement against the perceived rampant corruption within the country’s institutions.
Security personnel swiftly responded to the unusual protest, arresting the demonstrators and dispersing the crowd. The incident caused a significant disruption in the area, with traffic being temporarily halted.
Human rights lawyer Eron Kiiza expressed support for the protestors, stating that their naked demonstration was a powerful symbol of the “naked” corruption that plagues Uganda.
He criticized the government for its inaction on corruption and urged authorities to focus on addressing the root causes of the problem rather than simply arresting the protestors.
The identity of the protestors remains undisclosed, and it is unclear what charges they may face. The incident has sparked a heated debate on social media, with many praising the protestors for their courage and others criticizing their methods.
