Police & the armed forces,
Let's learn to respect each other because we can't be free when we oppress each others. Don’t treat your brothers and sisters like they are half humans. Brutality and torture is not the answer. Love ❤️ Uganda 🇺🇬 Respect the People Of Uganda 🇺🇬
They are prisoners of conscience. Their sole crime is fighting for a better Uganda for you and me. Let’s keep pressing for their freedom.

Dr. Kizza Besigye - an icon of our struggle, a pillar of resilience, and a true elder of the Ugandan liberation movement.
For decades, Dr. Besigye has consistently chosen conviction over comfort. He has remained steadfast and completely unyielding in the face of brutal persecution, multiple unlawful detentions, and constant threats to his life.
The Museveni regime continues to harass and torment him in the hope that they will break his spirit. Yet, through it all, he continues to stand firm - his spirit unbroken.
While we can never repay him for his enduring leadership and refusal to bow to tyranny, we can stand with him in his hour of need. I am grateful to our friends who have launched this solidarity campaign to raise funds for his welfare and mounting legal costs while he and his colleagues continue to languish in jail.
I encourage all of us to be part of this effort. Let us contribute whatever we can to support this cause. My wife @BarbieItungoK and I are making a modest contribution of UGX 5,000,000.
By standing together during these challenging times, we send a clear message to the regime: they can jail our bodies, but they can never jail our solidarity. Their attempts to throw us into disarray will not yield. Together, we shall overcome.
Very sad to announce that our brother Paul Musoke could not make it. He passed away a short while ago after a brave fight against the severe injuries he sustained in last week's horrific arson attack. We remain hopeful that in due course, those who masterminded the cruel act leading to this tragedy will face justice. May his soul rest in peace.
Reminder: Tomorrow, Saturday, August 22nd at 5:00 PM Uganda Time, the NUP Diaspora community comes together for an online fundraiser to support former political prisoners and their families as they rebuild their lives after years of imprisonment.
