Human Rights Watch wishes to thank the human rights activists, academics, political activists, humanitarian workers, and government officials who contributed to this report. Without their efforts and assistance, this report would have been impossible. Most importantly, Human Rights Watch wishes to thank the victims and witnesses of human rights abuses who agreed to share their experiences with us, in the hope that the human rights record of Uganda will be improved.
