Police used special smoke called tear gas to make some people leave the streets in a town called Kabale. These people wanted their leader, Dr. Besigye, to be set free from jail. They started walking from a hotel and carried signs asking for him to be released.
The police chief, Mr. Okello, saw them walking and brought other police officers to stop them. They caught four members of the group: Mr. Leopold, who helps make decisions for Kabale; Mr. Gideon, who teaches children; Mr. Conrad; and Mr. Godfrey.
Mr. Maate, who speaks for the police, said the people were walking on the main street at one in the afternoon. They carried signs that said things like "FREE BESIGYE" and "MUSEVENI SHOULD GO." The police thought this made trouble for other people who wanted to use the street.
The police said these people should have told them before they started walking with signs. If they had done this, the police could have helped keep everyone safe. The police took away the signs and wrote down what happened to people who saw everything.
The four people they caught were put in jail. The police are writing a big report about what happened. They will give this report to someone important who works for the government. This person will read it and tell the police what should happen next.
