Kakwenza flees into exile

Kakwenza flees

Tortured novelist Kakwenza Rukirabashaija has fled into exile fearing for his life as well as to seek medical attention abroad, his lawyer Eron Kiiza has revealed.

Kiiza has told a local TV station that his client fled the country although he declined to give details such which country he used since he had no passport.

The author’s request to have his passport handed back to him was this week turned down by Buganda road court judge Douglas Singiza.

Kakwenza’s case of torture attracted local and international attention as well as condemnation by bodies such as the European Parliament.
