"Our friend Joy Doreen Biira, a journalist with KTN has been arrested in Kasese according to her mother. Her whereabout still unknown. She has been giving eye witness accounts on the fighting in Kasese. Just yesterday was with her and I left today," a journalist friend, Barbara Among, posted on Facebook on Saturday night.
Biira had been giving eye witness account on the fighting in Kasese that has left 55 people dead, including 14 police officers.
"It's so sad what I've witnessed today with my own eyes...part of the palace of the Kingdom I'm from, the rwenzururu kingdom, burning down..." she had posted on her Facebook page. The post was later deleted.
