In Mbarara—

The coordinator for the Human Rights Network for the Journalists, Robert Ssempala has called for the safety of journalists ahead of the 2021 general elections.

He made the call while opening the two day workshop for journalists in Kigezi and Ankole regions organized by Human Rights Network for Journalists at Acacia Hotel and Igongo in Mbarara.

Journalists have collided with security agencies and politicians in times of elections which in turn have ended their career.

Ssempala cautioned journalists not to risk their life though in the right way of exercising their duty since any harm created on one affects the media house one works for.

He however castigated them to profile these individuals that tend to violate their rights and hold them accountable through recordings.
