It is exactly 100 days since Christopher Goddy, a comrade and musician better known by his stage name ‘King Zale,' was abducted from Kamokya. His family is very distressed, having looked for him everywhere without a trace. No security agency has ever come out to acknowledge having him under their custody. As usual, the regime is silent even when the public is aware that they are behind these atrocities!

For Museveni, Amin should not be remembered in Uganda because of the nature of his regime yet Museveni’s own rule is worst than Amin’s a million times.
The IDU is gravely concerned by reports that Dr. @kizzabesigye1 collapsed in court in Kampala yesterday. We call on Ugandan authorities to ensure immediate, unimpeded access for his personal physician and urgent medical care. His health, dignity and right to a fair trial must be upheld.
#Uganda: UN Human Rights Chief @volker_turk denounces the ongoing crackdown on dissent, erosion of the rule of law, increased military involvement in civilian institutions, and shrinking civic space.
He urges the Government to uphold the separation of powers and the rule of law, including by preventing military interference in civil institutions.

@UNHumanRights Commissioner Volker Türk’s warning is clear: Uganda’s escalating crackdown on dissent demands more than statements. The UN Human Rights Council should urgently convene a Special Session and refer Uganda for robust scrutiny and accountability before the situation deteriorates further.

Disturbing scenes from Court today as kangaroo judge Mr. Baguma Emmanuel insisted on proceeding with the trial of Dr. Besigye in shocking violation of his most basic rights as an accused person.
Despite Dr. Besigye's sustained protests against being denied legal representation of his choice, the kangaroo judge proceeded to hear the testimony of the regime's principal witness Orlando Wilson, a disgraced political mercenary. We're informed that since the time Dr. Besigye eventually collapsed in Court as the bogus trial went on, he is still unconscious.
We condemn the shameful and dishonorable conduct of the kangaroo judge Baguma. All Dr. Besigye and his co-accused are asking for is a fair trial, before a fair Judge, or no trial at all! The Constitution must prevail!
At the All African Convention Boston 2026, I joined Dr. Tony Menelik Van Der Meer, Prof. Nana James Small, and Minister Randy Muhammad to discuss the future of Pan-Africanism and moot solutions for strengthening unity among Africans worldwide.

Yesterday, Uganda witnessed one of the most dramatic courtroom moments in recent memory.
Dr. Kizza Besigye collapsed in court after a tense confrontation during proceedings that is politically motivated. The incident came after weeks of complaints from his lawyers and supporters, who say his personal doctor has repeatedly been denied access to him.
But before he collapsed...
He refused to be silent.
In a courtroom filled with tension, Dr. Besigye openly challenged the proceedings, questioning the injustice. And even after he was placed in handcuffs, he continued shouting:
"This nonsense has to stop! I will not keep quiet!"
Those words echoed far beyond the courtroom.
Because what many Ugandans saw was not simply a man standing trial.
They saw a man refusing to surrender.
Whether one agrees with Dr. Besigye's politics or not, his determination in those moments has become a powerful talking point across the country.
In my opinion, what happened in court was about more than one individual or one case. It was a reminder that resistance to what one believes is injustice can continue even in the most difficult circumstances.
This is what fighting tyranny looks like standing your ground even when the odds are against you.
Watch what happened... and here is my commentary.

Here is the full unseen story as it appeared in the treason case against Dr. Kizza Besigye, who later collapsed in the courtroom.
Defense lawyers raised concerns after his personal doctor, Dr. Olive Kobusingye, was initially denied immediate access to evaluate him.
Thank you for everything you are doing! This system has tried to Silence you but you have not remained silent.
You have been criminalized but you are not criminals
You have been weakened but you are not weak
You have been suppressed but you have not been defeated!!!!!
One of the hooded JATT operatives who came with Hon. Muwanga Kivumbi to court, in full possession of some of the tools that are regularly used in torture sessions - gun, pliers, hammer, axe, knife, etc. Talk to past victims and they'll tell you how these items have been used to make citizens wail at the weight of torture- if at all they live to tell the story. These operatives even had the audacity to enter the court room, fully armed in this manner! That the judicial officer could not condemn them and instead punished Hon. Kivumbi with a long remand period is telling. UGANDA WILL BE FREE.
What do you expect when these agents of oppression are all handpicked by the same person, from the same group, to serve the same purpose ?
Ugandans should profile every one of them. One day, they too will have to answer for the pain, suffering, and injustices they have inflicted on innocent citizens. History has a way of demanding accountability. A day will come!
Twenty days after his televised abduction and subsequent disappearance, Hon. Muwanga Kivumbi resurfaced today at the Chief Magistrate’s Court in Butambala. He has revealed that throughout his illegal detention, he endured daily torture and sustained multiple injuries. The Court, as has become the norm, just remanded him to an undisclosed prison until 11th August.
Until today when its JATT security operatives drove Hon. Kivumbi to Court, the regime had denied knowledge of his whereabouts and even filed affidavits in court to the same effect!
We continue to stand in solidarity with him and all other comrades who remain unlawfully detained or missing. We remain hopeful that justice will prevail, and that Uganda will one day become a country where every citizen enjoys their basic rights and the protection of the law.
