2. That on 19th January 2001, I was confronted by members of the Presidential Protection Unit in Rukungiri District, (Kanungu Trading Centre) and prevented from consulting with our supporters. I was there to meet the supporters of the Presidential Candidate Dr. Kizza Besigye between 10.00 a.m. and 12.00 noon. I was surrounded together with my colleagues and our supporters. We were then held hostage by members of the Presidential Protection Unit (PPU) who were under the command of one Captain Ndahura. I managed to leave the scene but the PPU and Police kept the people hostage for the next two hours. They later followed me to the venue of my next meeting — Rugyeyo Sub-County, Kinkizi County, Rukungiri District.
