I was not among those who tortured people. I was simply taken there to spend the night while waiting for an opportunity to meet the President and report what was contained in his report
UPDATE: The criminal regime yesterday paraded before the Police Court, nine of the police officers who were assigned to our campaign! They were all dismissed from the Uganda Police Force with disgrace. Their crime? "Neglect of Duty". The criminal regime claims that they assisted me in escaping from my own home. Crazy!
And yet, in fact, these professional police officers were withdrawn on 15th January, which was election day. By the time I left my home on the 16th when the military raided, they were no longer on duty. But now, they're being hounded, persecuted, and punished because the regime can not live with the embarrassment of not being able to locate me for two months. They're looking for anyone to blame. In any event, these officers were deployed to protect me and not to spy on me. But this is what Museveni has turned all institutions into! He expects them to do everything illegal, criminal, or immoral to sustain his criminal enterprise. Choosing to act professionally has landed very many civil servants in trouble.
We understand that in addition to being dismissed, officer Kigenyi and another were taken back to detention at the police station at the Railway grounds and are still being interrogated! UGANDA WILL BE FREE. For now, we stand in solidarity with these officers, who, like many other Ugandans, have had to taste the wrath of a desperate regime in its evening.

The criminal regime has today charged and detained a law student on internship, Gloria Laker, for taking a picture of the trumped-up charges they're plotting against me and sharing it online. The same regime has been consistently saying they're not looking for me, even as they continue to raid my friends' homes, mount roadblocks on public roads, and maintain the siege at my home. WE SHALL OVERCOME!

This morning, a team of @NUP_Ug lawyers and leaders tried to access our home in Magere. They were blocked by police and military operatives who have kept my home under siege since they raided it a month ago. They violently arrested one of our lawyers, Kakuru Tumusiime, and brutalised him. After several hours, they dumped him at a police station where he was interrogated about my whereabouts before being released on bond. They've charged him with 'common nuisance'. All this criminality taking place on a day our nation is commemorating Bishop Janani Luwum Day. UGANDA WILL BE FREE.

Very grateful to the European Parliament @Europarl_EN for debating the situation in Uganda and passing a very important resolution condemning the sham election, as well as the subsequent violations of human rights by the Museveni regime. Adding your voices to those of the millions of oppressed people in Uganda reassures us that the world is watching and that eventually, there will be accountability for the crimes committed against the people of Uganda.

From my lonely hideout, I've spent the day reading the many beautiful birthday messages. Thank you, friends, for the outpouring of love and encouragement. I’m really humbled🙏🏾❤️
I’m grateful to God for the gift of life, for the friends and family that He has surrounded me with, and for the many second chances I have had in life.
For whatever we have accomplished, that was the almighty God working through us. The glory goes to Him. For the mistakes and missteps along the way, that's mine. I take responsibility while struggling to improve.
Cheers to a new age and a new page.
May the rest of our days be the best of our days.
While the criminal regime continues to haunt my family and hunt me down, I took off time to read this very insightful book. Above all, it exposes Museveni for who he is and the damage he has done to our country, despite having come with the promise to break away from the past.
As Prof. Mamdani notes in this book, “The Museveni era has corroded the morals of an entire generation, and there is unlikely to be an easy solution to the problem. A pervasive corruption and cynicism cloud the country like a fog. It will take no less than a generation for the country to come out of it."
A depressing account it is. We have work cut out for us. We refuse to give up or give in. UGANDA WILL BE FREE.
