Uganda police ‘make us eat raw fish’- Kenyan fishermen

Ugandan police are being accused of forcing Kenyan fishermen to eat raw fish as punishment for alleged illegal fishing in Uganda’s part of Lake Victoria.

The fishermen told the newsmen that they were threatened with being shot if they did not eat the fish.

One of them called the practice inhumane.

They also said the policemen confiscated their fishing equipment as well as their boats.

There have been frequent arguments between Ugandan and Kenyan fishermen on Lake Victoria as they complain that the common border is not obvious.
