Uganda police break up protest against removal of age limits

Uganda police Tuesday arrested at least two dozen women activists after breaking up a protest against a move to remove the age limit for judges.

The activists said they suspected that the private member Bill tabled in Parliament by Nakifuma County MP Robert Kafeero Sekitoleko is a ruse to pave way for the amendment of Article 102 (b) of the Constitution to remove presidential age cap from the current 75 years.
