I sincerely thank you all for the overwhelming gesture of love in contributing towards my court penalties. I know you did this because you relate with my principles, work, and commitments. You never asked if I had the money or not, you simply showed up in solidarity. Even when you learnt that the initial target had been reached, you just continued sending money, and you are still sending!
I didn’t have to explain much that, although I’m aggrieved too, this case is not really about me. Some of you intervened in defence of freedoms and protection of this space for accountability. Some did it in defiance against the powerful that pee on those below.
The contributions included amounts as small as 4000/-, and from across the spectrum. Both opposition and NRM people showed up. Even ministers reached out with concern. Different tribes. Different religions and nationalities. From Uganda, Tanzania, Kenya, Ghana, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Nigeria, France, Switzerland, Netherlands, USA, Finland, UK, Sweden, Canada, Germany, Kazakstan, UAE, Brazil, … It has surely been a statement beyond me. Some just stood up for principles, some for religious reasons, some in memory of injustices they’ve themselves faced in the past and still.
This country has very many good people, and we could build on those to do much more good. The evil ones are few and have no REAL friends to count on. Neither are they really happy. They live in fear for the harm they’ve caused to others. Thanks to @kiizaeron and @AAgather for spearheading the campaign even before I asked, though I surely desired it to be a collective experience and statement. Thanks Hon. @HEBobiwine for passionately amplifying the call. Thanks everyone. I can’t name you all, but I saw you, and felt you. I must add that ever since this case started, I have never spent a single penny of mine. Well wishers, fans, and friends have carried me on their shoulders all through - and very happily. It is not me they carry though, it is the cause. Thank you.
@kirabiraivan256@HEBobiwine@SpireJim But Mr Nyanzi abusing words are not good cos here I see your attacking ur fellow comrade yet where are all in the same boat

I read from @kiizaeron that the launch was to be on Monday, but Love couldn’t wait to speak! What more wealth than living in people’s hearts! Thank you all, friends indeed. I can’t finish the list.
This was on the eve of the January rigged election, as this criminal - a UPDF soldier, Major Emma Kuteesa encouraged gangs to attack shops and businesses owned by @NUP_Ug supporters who had displayed national flags in solidarity with our campaign. He, and his associate criminal one Maj. Gen. Christopher Ddamulira have been at it, mobilising and empowering gangs under the auspices of "the Ghetto Structure" to attack NUP supporters and commit other crimes against our people under the protection of the state.
Are we then surprised by the increasing levels of violence against citizens in Kampala and other parts of Uganda? After the regime made it clear to them that they could commit crimes in the name of protecting the Museveni regime, they chose to use the same cover to attack, rob, mob and murder citizens without consequence! Sadly, everyone becomes a potential victim, including those who cheered them on. WE NEED A RESET.
