He is called Erias Lukwago.
A lawyer who is under illegal detention for representing Kizza Besigye in court.
In this clip, Erias is calling upon the world to stand in solidarity with him during these difficult times.
Today, Kenya human rights defenders will be on the streets condemning abductions, illegal detentions and torture across East Africa.
If Ambassador Olara Otunnu becomes UN Secretary-General, we fear he could be used to whitewash the crimes of the Museveni regime that endorsed his bid and manipulate the world about what is happening in Uganda. We must reject this attempt to sanitize the regime. Reject the Museveni puppet. Reject Otunnu.
Weโve received disturbing reports alleging that Hon. Muwanga Kivumbi was tortured to near death at Kasenyi SFC military barracks and is now being hidden from the public while receiving treatment before he can be produced.
These reports cannot be dismissed lightly. Many of us have gone through similar ordeals at the hands of this regime and were deliberately hidden from the public until our wounds and the evidence of torture had faded.
While the regime keeps the country distracted with endless diversions, itโs now 10 days since our Deputy President of the Buganda region was abducted in broad daylight and since then, he has never been seen again.
Neither the police nor the army have accounted for his whereabouts.
Where is Hon Muwanga Kivumbi ?
Uganda's leading independent media group says it is under "military siege" after the army chief - who is the son of President Yoweri Museveni - ordered the closure of TV stations, newspapers and radio outlets. https://t.co/jcRs1i6MLK
Dear Maama Miria Matembe,
I stand with you in this dark and painful moment.
The harassment you and other women are facing from a childish coward masquerading as a general does not diminish your courage or dignity, it only exposes his weakness and moral bankruptcy.
The world is watching, and one day he will be held to account for his atrocities against the people of Uganda.
God be with you Maama.
@AmandaKeisha256@HEBobiwine Good you are already on the ground, power belongs to people, and you are among, organize yourselves things that torture us are universal. One hand will never clap ๐ peace.
@joramtweets@HEBobiwine@Rutahigwa_1 You who are here, please do something. Don't act like Christians who call for Jesus to save them and yet he died while they were ๐ watching.
Amidst endless diversions by the regime to deflect citizens' attention from the recent electoral fraud and Uganda's deepening moral and institutional collapse, these words by retiring Judge His Lordship Stephen Egonda-Ntende at his farewell sitting yesterday could not have come at a better time. The Judge urged the judiciary to search deeply within itself for a soul.
He boldly condemned the injustice and cruelty of continuing to jail comrade Waiswa Mufumbiro without bail beyond the constitutional limit, moreover on a minor offence, to the extent of denying him the chance to accompany his children to bury their mother, his wife, the late Edith Katende.
Indeed, as the good Judge suggested, no Ugandan should ever be treated like this again by their own country!
@TickleTexts@AJENews Funny how stupid Americans think they are superior and make jokes over death of a father, mentor and a human being. To hell with you all.
A very happy Eid al-Fitr to all of you my Muslim brothers and sisters. May the almighty Allah accept your sacrifice and reward.
Assalam alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh
@alvarlaigna@AJEnglish You see western culture is taught that the rest of the world is unsafe, corrupt and unworthy of living. They pretend to care more about animals i.e ๐ and ๐ but they cant do the same for black people in their communities. Wrong education.
