Uganda police arrest dozens of protesting youth

Kampala, Uganda — A heavy military and police presence in and around Kampala left the streets deserted as pockets of young people marched toward parliament Tuesday. Under the hashtag #March2Parliament, demonstrators demanded the resignation of Speaker of Parliament Anita Among along with four members of parliament who recently shared an award of $460,000 for "public service." They also called for an audit of legislators' income. Many of the unarmed, placard-wielding protesters were thrown into police vans.
