People's Redemption Army (PRA) is a Ugandan rebel group whose existence is disputed.
The Government of Uganda has asserted its existence for several years, although it has occasionally called the rebel group "dormant".
In December 2004, Ugandan army deployed troops along the border with DRC Congo, saying that the rebel group was preparing to attack Uganda.
[1] The leader of the main opposition party Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) and the main contender for the presidency in the 2006 Elections, Kizza Besigye, was arrested on November 14, 2005, accused of being the "political leader of the PRA", sparking demonstrations and violent riots in his support.
An FDC representative said, "The statement by Swing, which alleges the existence of a shadowy rebel movement, has caused consternation and widespread concern, even antipathy towards the United Nations, among the people of Uganda," and added that "Specifically, the people of Uganda would like to know the strength, location, leadership and financiers of the PRA, if in fact such a group does exist".
