Uganda, Africa

Tourists visit Lubiri Palace in Kampala, the capital of Uganda. The palace once held torture chambers used by Idi Amin, who committed crimes against humanity as president of Uganda from 1971 to 1979. According to tour guide Allan Kakembo (not pictured), the torture chamber site was originally an armory, but was later converted into a prison where an estimated 19,000 people died from hunger, suffocation or mass electrocution.
