Bishop attacks photo-journalist

A journalist who took pictures of a bishop during a court case in Uganda claims that he was manhandled by the clergyman and his colleagues.

Brian Luwaga, who works for the Luganda-based daily tabloid Kamunye, said the bishop, Samuel Keefa Kamya, grabbed him by the shirt when he was taking his pictures at the high court in Masaka.

Keefa then demanded that the pictures be deleted because Luwaga had no permission to take them. Luwaga, who was surrounded by Keefa's supporters, refused.

The bishop was in court to answer charges of improperly influencing a diocesan election. He denied attacking Luwaga.
