notes: On April 27th, police and UPDF fired tear gas and live ammunition at FDC supporters who had gathered for a rally in Lira town (Lira district). Security forces had prevented the rally from taking place, alleging that permission had not been obtained (which has been disputed by the FDC), and briefly detained FDC politician Kiiza Besigye. Note that the source described the FDC supporters as a 'rowdy group of youth', though there is no mention of violent activity by the group, who have accordingly been coded as protesters.
