A/HRC/13/42* page 127 Kololo, an upmarket suburb of Kampala where many embassies and ambassadors’ residences are located, and where the use of torture was commonplace. The report was based on a detailed analysis of the activities of the Joint Anti-Terrorism Task Force (JATT), established in 1999 primarily to deal with the threat posed by the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF), a Ugandan rebel group based in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. However, as Human Rights Watch explained, under the cover of its mandate to deal with terrorism, “individuals allegedly linked to other groups, such as Al-Qaida, have also suffered at the hands of JATT”.481 276. Moreover, although the Rwandan newspaper the New Times reported on 19 July 2006 that Kyanjo Hussein, the shadow Minister for Internal Affairs had told a meeting of the Parliamentary Committee of Internal Affairs and Defence in July 2006 that JATT was holding 30 Rwandan and Congolese detainees,482 and former detainees also told Human Rights Watch about non-Ugandans held in Kololo for long periods of time, and explained that “they saw foreigners, such as Somalis, Rwandans, Eritreans and Congolese, in the JATT compound”, it appears that the majority of cases involved terrorism - and, specifically, fears of terrorist activities organized by Muslims, who make up 12 per cent of the population of Uganda. Human Rights Watch noted that, “of the 106 named individuals detained by JATT documented by Human Rights Watch, all but two were Muslim”.483 277. Of the foreigners held specifically in connection with terrorism, the most prominent examples are two South Africans citizens, Mufti Hussain Bhayat and Haroon Saley, who were arrested at Entebbe Airport on 18 August 2008 and taken to Kololo. Although the men’s capture received significant news coverage in Uganda and South Africa, they were held in Kololo for 11 days without charge, and were only freed - and deported - when their lawyer secured a habeas corpus hearing. Relating his experience afterwards, Mr. Bhayat stated that “questions were read from a roll of fax paper from an unknown source”, which suggests that JATT was also working with the intelligence services of other countries.483 7. Zimbabwe 278. In Zimbabwe, in 2008, an election year that was marked by extensive human rights abuses resulting in “at least 180 deaths, and at least 9,000 people injured from torture, beatings and other violations perpetrated mainly by security forces, war veterans and supporters of the Zimbabwe African National Union (ZANU-PF)”,484 the Government also seized at least 24 human rights defenders and political activists, and their family members, held them in 481 Human Rights Watch, “Open secret: illegal detention and torture by the Joint Anti-Terrorism Task Force in Uganda”, April 2009.
