The battle has moved from the streets to the World Wide Web after Hackers put down the Uganda Police Force website.
International hackers’ group Anonymous have chest thumped claiming that they put down the website because of the recent human rights violation by UPF.
“Anonymous has taken down @PoliceUg’s website in response to recent violent government repression & killings. Anonymous calls for police to respect human lives & the freedom of peaceful assembly and protest,” a statement on their twitter page reads.
Anonymous claim they are a group that: “Supports the weak against the powerful and stands for justice, Human rights, Autonomy & self-governance, Resistance against tyranny, A more humane society, Actions Not Nouns.”
In a communication with Charles Twine, the Police Criminal Investigations Department (CID) spokesperson, he disclosed that it’s true their site was hacked but they redeemed it and they are still looking for the culprits.
“We have been working closely with our host and the Police Cyber Crimes unit to redeem the site. However, we are looking for the culprits who hacked into our system,” Twine said.
