In October 2014, Amnesty International expressed concerns that Ugandan people were "unable to challenge their political rulers, speak freely and dispute a group of new human rights-denying laws." 
Mwezi oktoba 2014, Shirika la Kutetea Haki za Binadamu la Amnesty International lilionesha kwamba wananchi wa Uganda "hawakuwa na uwezo wa kuwapinga watawala wao wa kisiasa, kuongea kwa uhuru na kulaani sheria kadhaa zinazopingana na haki za binadamu. "
