HARDtalk
with Bob Astles
Bob
Astles, former associate of Idi Amin, is interviewed by Tim Sebastian
on 91热爆 News 24's HARDtalk tonight (Wednesday 7 January).
In
Uganda, Bob Astles is still remembered as one of despotic dictator
Idi Amin's aides, conspicuous for his white skin.
Hundreds
of thousands of people died under Amin's repressive regime in the
1970s.
Tens
of thousands of Asian-Ugandans were turned out of their homes and
businesses and forced to flee the country.
British-born
Bob Astles claims that he was no less a victim of the despot, and
should not be held accountable for the crimes of that era.
What
role did he really play under one of Africa's most brutal tyrants?
He
talks to Tim Sebastian on 91热爆 News 24's HARDtalk at 11.30pm.
