Please join me in praying for @kizzabesigye1 and demanding justice.
He has been admitted to the ICU at Mulago Hospital. He is unconscious, unable to speak, and unresponsive even to a pain stimulus.
Before he collapsed, he cried out that he was being injured. His sister, Dr Kobusingye, was in court but was not allowed to attend to him.
What happened to KB?
One day, @KagutaMuseveni and his son @mkainerugaba will have to answer that question.
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.
The mocking, evil tone with which the police spokesman responds to a question about our Deputy President who was abducted by operatives 17 days ago and is still missing to-date! He even has the audacity to laugh as he talks about such a terrible situation. TIME
Holding citizens in secret detention is a gross violation of human rights by the very institutions sworn to protect them. Unchecked state impunity must never become the norm. #FreeAllPoliticalPrisonersinUganda

This is not about cleaning. These are the monsters that we have built. Brutalising fellow human beings to them is a hobby that they enjoy so much. Oh Uganda 🙌😭
There’s a bizarre job opportunity in Kampala, Uganda, where young people get paid to be caned. They earn between about (10-16k) $2.65 and $4.25 for the service.
Uganda's youth unemployment rate sits at 16.1% for individuals aged 18 to 30.
Kale… if the mighty @DailyMonitor and @ntvuganda hadn’t been choked into silence, they would have torn open the truth about the severe famine ravaging Karamoja and in full, merciless detail.
Instead, it took the @BBCWorld, a British media house, to break the story. Instantly the NRM chamchas swarmed the internet, foaming at the mouth to denounce the report. Then, a week ago, that toad-yam height of a thug prime minister made a grand show of flagging off “relief food”… food that has never arrived. Perhaps mabaati-thief @AnitahAmong helped herself to it the same way she helped herself to those iron sheets.
How bitterly ironic that these same NRM nincompoops who never stop yapping about imperialism only spring into action after the “imperialists” broadcast the catastrophe and only after they themselves have muzzled every independent voice that could have reported it first.
You're going to kill a good idea with your threats. This is a voluntary initiative. Interest the public in the initiative. Don't threaten them into it. We are under democracy, not communism.
Today marks exactly 14 days since our Deputy President Hon. Muwanga Kivumbi was abducted by security operatives at a checkpoint in Mpigi District. To-date, neither the police nor the military have come out to account for his whereabouts.
