Lawyers acting for the victims of a wave of abductions and torture by security forces in Uganda have named senior military commanders, including the president's son, in a complaint to the international criminal court.

Prosecutors at the ICC are already reviewing an earlier submission from the opposition politician Robert Kyagulanyi, the former reggae singer known as Bobi Wine, describing widespread human rights abuses before presidential polls held in January.
