On the 28th of May 2013 approximately 20 journalists from Uganda (Africa) who were trying to report about the media crackdown protest that was taking place in the capital found themselves in a mist of tear gas. The gas was being administered by the Ugandan police force.
Tear gas causes irritation of the mucous membranes throughout ones eyes, nose, and mouth. These reactions can cause symptoms from sneezing to temporary blindness.
The deputy police spokesman Patrick Onyango mentioned that the these journalists were not suppose to be reporting on this event and that is why they were sprayed with tear gas.
