Rights Groups Urge Uganda To Back Probe Into Deadly Clashes

KAMPALA, Uganda (AP) — Dozens of human rights watchdogs and lawyers are urging Uganda's government to allow an independent investigation into killings by security forces during a clash with a tribal kingdom last year. The coalition of 40 groups wants an investigation with international expertise to "hold security forces accountable" over the November killings near the border with Congo.
