BUGANDA KILLINGS
Prince Claims 15,000 (N-Z.P-A.-Reuter —Copyright) LONDON, June 21. A brother of the Kabaka of Buganda claimed in London today that at least 15,000 people had been killed in the troubled kingdom within Uganda in the last month. Prince Henry Kimera also alleged that in mass tortures in the East African kingdom, the Kabaka’s wife had been assaulted and her hair pulled out.
The Kabaka, Sir Edward Frederick Mutesa, was found to be in Burundi on Sunday after he had been missing since May 24. when Uganda Government troops overcame resistance and occupied his palace on the outskirts of Kampala. The battle took place after the Kabaka rejected a new constitution he felt would undermine his status and ordered the government to quit Buganda, the largest kingdom in Uganda.
