Outrage over Uganda media shutdown

The decision by Ugandan authorities to shut down NTV Uganda and its sister outlets has sparked uproar, with international media stakeholders terming the move a threat to media freedom. The media outlets — NTV Uganda, Spark TV and Daily Monitor — were forced offline in the early hours of Sunday following a military raid ordered by Chief of Defence Forces Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba. Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba, who is President Yoweri Museveni's son, ordered the crackdown following the publication of critical stories regarding the country's political and security establishment.
