A group of Ugandan women have stripped to their bras in protest at the alleged sexual assault by Ugandan police of a high-profile female opposition politician.
Footage shows an officer squeezing the breast of Ingrid Turinawe of the Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) during her arrest ahead of a rally last week.
Deputy police chief Andrew Kaweesa has apologised, saying the incident will be investigated. Uganda's opposition says police regularly harass them during protests.
Ugandan television footage clearly shows that, as several officers tried to pull her out of her vehicle, another grabbed and squeezed her breast - and she is heard shouting out in pain.
Protest
A group of about 15 women marched through the town to the main police station waving placards, including one that read "How would you feel if we squeezed your balls?"
Six protesters were arrested after they refused to put their tops back on - but they were released two hours later without charge.

The Ugandan militaristic Museveni's police thugs must be reprimanded for doing this to such a woman. Oneday the regime will fall and these thugs who groped women like this will be brought to Justice. Ugandans must be hopeful that like Obote's regime, these thugs pictures will be stored and hunted down oneday for punishment.
