At the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, in Washington, DC, we gathered to show solidarity with hundreds of thousands of political prisoners worldwide.
Their names will never be forgotten; their struggles will persist, and they will outlive their oppressors.
Autocrats live in fear of you, and that is why they have locked you up.

The message from Washington, D.C., during the marking of International Day of Political Prisoners was clear: FREE ALL POLITICAL PRISONERS IN UGANDA, UNCONDITIONALLY! No one should be imprisoned for exercising their rights or expressing their political views.
#FreeAllPoliticalPrisonersInUganda
An innocent life has been lost, at the hands of a government consumed by greed and the thirst for power. But when the tables turn and justice comes knocking, where will those responsible run?
Rest in peace, John Bosco Kibalama. 🕊️💔 Your life mattered, and your death must not be forgotten. Gen Museveni killed you.
#FreeUgandaNow
It was lovely to catch up with @HEBobiwine and meet his son Solomon at the Lincoln Memorial yesterday.
His red-capped supporters turned up in force! Young and old, women and men, they came to stand with political prisoners and show their love and solidarity with BW.
Watching him engage with people, I saw a warm, thoughtful and humble leader.
It breaks my heart and angers me that he and his family must live in exile. What injustice! What a loss for Uganda to drive away a young leader of such promise!
Oh Uganda, what are we doing to ourselves? 🇺🇬
More than two months now since Ronald Kizito Jjuuko was shot and killed by an officer of @PoliceUg during the National Cleaning Day.
His family is still crying out for justice.
UPDATE: Reports indicate that JohnBosco Kibalama was shot and killed by Asaph Nyakikuru Mweteitse using a PK light machine gun. According to these sources, his body was buried in a mass grave at the Special Forces Command (SFC) headquarters, near the perimeter wall of the late George Kanyeihamba’s

Lt. Mabonga is a credible witness who needs to be protected as we pursue international mechanisms. I encourage all of you to rally behind this cause and support his wellfare. Thank you.
We truly don’t deserve this family. We can’t thank them enough for the sacrifices they’ve made to make Uganda a better place for everyone.
@kampala_solomon and @HEBobiwine
John Bosco Kibalama is reportedly dead. Author Kakwenza Rukirabashaija claims three SFC sources allege he was shot by Asaph Nyakikuru Mweteitse and buried in a mass grave at SFC headquarters. Kibalama was reportedly arrested in 2021 but has never appeared in court up now
And this was rehearsal not the real thing! @HEBobiwine lifted us all- families and activists- with a message of hope and to ‘never give up’ in the struggle for justice.
Thank you @HEBobiwine
