KAMPALA, June 27 (Xinhua) -- Ugandan police on Wednesday said it will not allow activists to hold a one million women's march to protest against killings and kidnappings of women in the east African country.

Patrick Onyango, deputy police spokesperson said in a statement that the intended demonstration by women activists scheduled for June 30 in the capital Kampala will not go ahead because their concerns have already been addressed.

Onyango said the top security chiefs and also President Yoweri Museveni have already briefed the country on the measures being taken to address the security situation.

He also noted that in a recent meeting, police briefed the activists on how far the investigations into the kidnappings and murders cases have reached.

"They should not waste their valuable time and resources on issues that government has already addressed," Onyango said.

The demonstration dubbed, "Stop the bloodshed, end kidnapping," is aimed at highlighting the alleged failure of both police and government to protect the lives of women in the country.

The activists, in a statement issued on Wednesday insist that they will go ahead with the demonstration.

More than 42 women have been murdered in the last one year, according to police.
