The present report of Human Rights Watch details unlawful detention, torture and enforced disappearances by Joint Anti-terrorism Task Force (JATT) of Uganda, by military intelligence and other security personnel associated with JATT. Human Rights Watch research indicates that JATT has committed serious human rights violations in the course of its operations. These include prolonged incommunicado detention of terrorism and treason suspects at the JATT headquarters in Kololo, and the routine use of torture during interrogations both in Kololo and at the headquarters of military intelligence in Kitante, another Kampala suburb.
