John Sekabira said he was tortured, helped bury the mangled victims of mass executions, and once watched Amin dance after inspecting the grave of massacred soldiers. Sekabira, who said he fled to Kenya after being released in June, told The Associated Press in an interview that his own ordeal was compared with those suffered by other inmates. world must know about the horrors of he told The Associated Press in an interview.
