When I speak against political Sharia, some people call me anti-Islam. But how can banning girls from school, child marriage, forcing women into compulsory dress codes, stoning women for adultery, and killing people over blasphemy or apostasy be called protecting Islam?
A religion should not need oppression, fear, or injustice to prove its strength. Using power to silence people and control lives does not honour a faith; it only pushes people further away from it and damages the image of Islam in the eyes of the world.
As Dr. Kizza Besigye lies in an ICU room, fighting for his life, let's not forget that the stated intention of the Museveni regime is to murder him. Museveni’s criminal son, who derives pride in being a face of evil has been clear that "......Besigye will only leave prison in two ways. Either in his coffin after we hang him or shoot him or on his knees apologising to Mzee [Museveni]". That's why they have denied him bail, dismantled his legal team, and hounded him left, right and center.
The world must not standby. What is happening in Uganda is catastrophic. Let's use every avenue to speak out, protest and agitate. One blood-thirsty family must not be allowed to torture, maim, murder and hold a nation at ransom without consequence!
Painful to watch...leave alone the egregious abuse of human rights! H.E @KagutaMuseveni as one of Africa's foremost revolutionary figure and freedom fighter should stop this nonsense!

Message from Kenya on #BesigyeTrial@edwinsifuna
When Kizza Besigye's body gave way in that Ugandan courtroom, it was not a man surrendering. It was a broken body exposing a broken state. As he cried, "Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop!" before collapsing onto the cold floor of the suspects' dock, the illusion of justice collapsed with him. His fall became the final indictment of a court that had long abandoned the law.
The judge fled. The prosecutors vanished. The carefully rehearsed theatre of persecution disintegrated in seconds. The witness, so eager to peddle a tale of treason, could not withstand the weight of truth. The men who had come to choreograph a conviction suddenly discovered that no script exists for courage. A single collapsing body scattered an entire machinery of intimidation.
That is the irony of tyranny. Dictators spend years constructing monuments of fear, only for one act of defiance to expose that they were built on sand. The regime wanted the world to see a prisoner. Instead, the world saw a government terrified of one frail, exhausted man.
And Kenya watched.
We watched with rage. We watched with shame. We watched knowing that Dr. Besigye's nightmare did not begin in Kampala alone. It passed through Nairobi. Under President William Ruto's administration, Besigye was abducted on Kenyan soil and delivered into the hands of his persecutors. That stain cannot be washed away by official statements or diplomatic niceties. It will remain one of the darkest betrayals of Kenya's constitutional values and its long-standing commitment to asylum, liberty and the rule of law.
We also watched our Ugandan brothers and sisters with heavy hearts. Dictatorships do not survive because they are strong, they survive because fear becomes normal. But history has never been rewritten by the comfortable. Every generation eventually reaches a moment when silence becomes more painful than resistance. That choice belongs to the people Uganda.
As Kenyans, our own verdict awaits the ballot box. Those who collaborated in this shameful chapter will answer to the sovereign will of the people. In a constitutional democracy, power is borrowed—not owned. Those who misuse it eventually return it, whether willingly or by force of the ballot.
Africa's struggles are not confined by colonial borders. When freedom is assaulted in Kampala, Nairobi cannot pretend to be untouched. When justice is kidnapped in one African nation, every African has a stake in its return. Our destinies are intertwined.
Kizza Besigye may have collapsed, but it was not his spirit that fell. It was the mask of an unjust system. His body hit the floor, and a kangaroo court lost its legitimacy before the eyes of Africa and the world.
Lit sana.

In the basement they denied him food and water. They tortured him every day until one day he blacked out and nearly died.Fearing that Sam Mugumya might die in their hands they smuggled in a doctor who offered painkillers.However they resumed torturing him repeatedly and one day when Sam asked for water after them torturing him.They made him drink his own urine...
Sam Mugumya is currently believed to be held at Lunyo/Kasenyi Basement in Entebbe with hundreds of other political prisoners.This basement is headed and commanded by Muhoozi and a one tall muhima/Munyarwanda military goon whose real names, we are still looking for.
These goons are unimaginable bloodthirsty monsters.They are demons, cruel serpents who do not deserve to live among humans.Sam Mugumya we are praying for you. God will see you through. We will overcome this repression one day! Hang in there.!
In his reflection about what Christianity should say to oppressed black South Africans during Apartheid, Steve Biko said that the Bible should also preach to the black man that “it is a sin to allow oneself to be oppressed”. One of the people that have vehemently resisted committing this sin is Dr Kizza Besigye. You do not oppress him with his permission, and he won’t cooperate in fostering his own oppression - even if it means dying in protesting abuse.
