Hey @elonmusk, as you cheer the fall of a dictator in Venezuela, here in Uganda your @Starlink has disabled citizens' access to its internet just days to the January 15th election in which we seek to peacefully end Museveni’s 40-year-old dictatorship!
Like other dictators, Museveni has suffocated free expression, engaged in mass killings, brutally persecuted the opposition, and suppressed citizens' rights - among other atrocities. Please reactivate Starlink internet access in Uganda so that citizens can be able to communicate and stand a fair chance at shaping their destiny. Democracy dies in darkness!
This is Mayega Ronald, one of our comrades being tried by the Military Court alongside Olivia Lutaaya and others. He is one of the four who were released on bail, and have been persistently approached by state operatives asking them to 'cooperate with the state' and implicate themselves as having committed the crimes they're charged with.
On 11th June, he did not return home and his family reported to us about his disappearance. They also reported a case of Disappearance with the Police. For over a week, our Human Rights team alongside his family have been looking for him everywhere including police stations.
This morning, he resurfaced bearing gruesome wounds. He says that he was abducted by heavily armed men on Tuesday last week. According to his account, they took him to an unknown place where they interrogated him about the ongoing case at the military court, asking him why he has refused to cooperate with them. They asked him why he has repeatedly refused to implicate me and other NUP leaders as having sent them to commit crimes. They tasked him to admit that he committed the offences at the military court and apologize to Gen. Museveni. They promised that if he remains adamant, he will face dire consequences, and if he accepts, he will be given monetary favors.
Very sadly, he says that two of his captors sodomized him and promised to kill him if he spoke about it😡 (A medical doctor has examined him and confirmed that he was indeed sexually abused)! They would later subject him to untold torture as seen in these pictures. His arms bear clear marks of having been on handcuffs.
A very sad state of affairs! This is why we cannot give up our pursuit for justice and accountability for these crimes against humanity!
Write the name of your MP below here if you haven’t seen their name on the list of those who signed the censure motion. I start with mine (my OB):
1. Hon. Richard Ssebamala (Bukoto Central)
2. …
Masaka-Kyotera-Mutukula is one of the most important trade roads in Greater Masaka. It is also Uganda’s main ground trade route with Tanzania. It has been in a horrible state for so many years.
They started by patching up its potholes with tarmac. Then they graduated to patching it up with soil. Now that the potholes have grown too many and close to each other, they have resorted to clearing off the tarmac for fully marram sections (a hybrid highway)! Despite their glaring discrimination, they pretend to wonder why they are unpopular this side; why they have to come with their own people to rallies!
This country needs an EXORCIST
LOP @JoelSsenyonyi: Good enough, we now have evidence to take action against irregular awards. We shall not tire in demanding for accountability.
