A/HRC/4/41 page 91 444. The Working Group received information regarding cases previously accepted by the Working Group which it learned had in fact been abductions by a non-State actor. The Working Group considered the matter and decided that those cases were not within the proper ambit of its mandate since the actions were not directly or indirectly attributable to the Government of Uganda. As a result, the Working Group deleted 39 outstanding cases. The Working Group also learned that the United Nations in Uganda is actively working on these and similar cases of children abducted by rebel forces. Summary of the situation prior to the period under review 445. Of the 61 reported cases of disappearance, 20 occurred between 1981 and 1985. These reported disappearances occurred throughout the country and in one case the person was allegedly abducted while in exile in Kenya and taken to Kampala. One case concerned the 18-year-old daughter of an opposition member of the Ugandan Parliament. The disappearances are said to have been committed by policemen, soldiers or officials of the National Security Agency. 446. In 1998, three cases occurred, one of which concerned a former magistrate who was a refugee. He was reportedly arrested in Kampala by Ugandan police officers. Another case concerned a lawyer providing defence counsel to persons accused of genocide. He is said to have been previously arrested and tortured because of his activities.
