‘It's over, I am going to die’: how Uganda’s coronavirus curfew is claiming lives

Evelyn Namulondo and Eric Mutasiga were killed by officers enforcing Covid-19 movement restrictions - and their families want justice

The last words Evelyn Namulondo said to her elder sister, Jennifer, were: It's over, I am going to die." It was 15 May and the 30-year-old was in a hospital bed in Jinja, Uganda, two days after being shot by unidentified men apparently trying to enforce Uganda's 7pm to 6am coronavirus curfew.

Namulondo was on a motorcycle taxi at 5am, heading to the restaurant she co-founded, when men she thought were police officers asked the driver to stop. When the taxi sped off instead, they fired, hitting Namulondo.
