20. That at about 23.30 hours, I went back to Rukungiri to Rondavels Hotel, where I found the Regional Police Commander Okwalinga and reported what happened that evening. I reported to him that I had information from them that the PPU soldiers planned to stop people from attending my rallies the following day. The Regional Police Commander assured me that he would effect deployments to ensure that our planned campaign rally would not be disrupted and that he was going to stay in the District personally to supervise the security for the period the presidential Election.
21. That on the 3rd March, I addressed rallies in Nyarushanje, Nyakishenvi, Kanungu, Kihihi, and at all places I observed that all my supporters were in terrible fear for their personal security because of the heavy deployment of the Presidential Protection Unit and Local Defence Unit in their respective areas by reason of intimidation and harassment.
22. That because of the said heavy deployment of PPU and LDUs in the whole District of Rukungiri and the resultant tension, I was forced to cut out rallies organized for me at Bwambara and Bubangari in Rujumbwa County In order to get to the main campaign rally at Rukungiri Town early.
23. That I arrived at the main rally in Rukungiri Town at about 17.00 hours and in my address to the people I informed them that I was aware of the state of terror created by the PPU soldiers and that for that sake / had to be very brief so that they could return home before dark, and I appealed to all my supporters to refrain from violence even in the face of extreme provocation.
