This evening, President @HEBobiwine & fellow leaders in the NUP have received the first batch of 12 Ugandans who have just returned to Uganda from the detention centres in the UAE.They all narrated very painful stories about what they have been through while under detention for.
Very delighted this evening to receive the first batch of 12 Ugandans who have been stuck at Al Awir Deportation Jail for several months! The stories are sad. Many fled dehumanising conditions and ended up in the detention. Grateful to all of you who have embraced this effort!
His father told Ugandans to eat cassava if they can't afford bread. His 'mother' asked poor village mothers who can't afford food to buy food-flasks. NOW THIS. Blinded by privilege! Completely detached from the reality of Ugandans who they have plundered for close to 4 decades!
We spent the day at Kitalya Prison to check on our comrades who are detained there for close to two years. These include part of the 32 who were denied bail by the military court this week, as well as many who were picked up for putting on red berets in 2020.

Olivia Lutaaya is 30. She is a young mother of two. She mobilised for @NUP_Ug during the 2021 election. For that, she was abducted, beaten up, held incommunicado for weeks, and then arraigned before the military court. She is still in jail! #FreeAllPoliticalPrisonersUganda
Did you know, our telephone data is unsafe with @mtnug ?They're colluding with security agencies abducting our citizens. Imagine MTN without court orders discloses our private information to CMI tracking and abducting us! This breaches our right to privacy!
The military court today refused to grant bail to a group of 32 @NUP_Ug supporters who were picked up in 2020 and early 2021. In detention close to 2 years for supporting me and NUP! The trial has not even started! Overcome by anger, the relatives gathered outside court and wept!
Another victim of the senseless violence and lawlessness bred by the Museveni regime dies! We have to collectively stop this madness. We must all demand for accountability for these crimes against humanity.

After spending close to one month in detention following his abduction and torture, our comrade @MotivKasagga has been granted bail this morning. Very glad to note that he still as solid as rock! Grateful to the legal team for the great work.
