notes: On 5 June 2020, LDU paramilitaries began beating residents of Arua town (Arua district) found loitering, ostensibly as part of coronavirus enforcement measures. A private security guard, who was among the group being beaten, left the scene and returned with a bow, and shot an LDU officer in the head, seriously wounding him. The guard is at large.
