Soldiers in uniforms similar to that of the Special Forces Command have staged a roadblock at Abayita Ababiri, near Entebbe town, and they can be seen arresting and beating people indiscriminately.

All those arrested are being forced to board two police pickup trucks stationed there. There is high tension and massive security crackdown on roads between Kampala and Entebbe that are unusually littered with check-points.

Movement on the highway is restricted and only individuals holding passports, flight tickets and or gate passes issued by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), the aviation regulator, are allowed through to the airport.
