Bamutakudde cleaning Day:
This week's community cleaning was special in #Bamutakudde.
We didn't just clean — we planted the future🌱. 2,000 trees: 🌸 1,000 cherry blossoms along our village highway. 1,000 fruit trees for homes & gardens 🥭
Grateful to @GoodForestsUg for partnering with us on this greening journey. Together, we are building the village we call home.
If you marched to Parliament and faced the wrath of the state head-on, if you supported this campaign in any way, from our legal team, @AgoraCFR, who mobilized support and stood firmly with us, to those who visited us in prison, our sureties, those who amplified the hashtag and demanded our release, and all sober-minded Ugandans who stood up and demanded accountability from Parliament…
Today, we celebrate you.
You are the true patriots of this country. You stood on the side of justice when it mattered most, and history will forever remember your courage and sacrifice.
Today, you are finally exonerated.
Uganda will remember.
This is the right time to sue the government of Uganda for illegally arresting and detaining us for protesting against corruption in Parliament.
We deserve an apology or even compensation for the trauma, torture, days we spent on remand, transport and time we used while attending those court sessions which were later dismissed because of lack of prosecution.
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 @SueNsibirwa, please know that you are loved, valued, and deeply appreciated by countless Ugandans.
You stood at the helm of a media house that chose truth over fear, courage over silence, and remained steadfast in telling the stories of the people exactly as they were, without bending to intimidation or surrendering to the demands of tyranny.
No matter what happens, history has already chosen your side. You are a hero of this generation, and when the pages of Uganda’s story are written, your name and face will stand among those who refused to kneel before oppression.
Our Executive Director @SarahBireete and Executive Director of @amwaafrika , @musiimee have been released , following their abduction earlier today.... THANK YOU ALL! #FreeUganda
