It turns out that journalist and media personality @TimKalyegira, who has been missing, was actually abducted, held incommunicado, and is now being arraigned for charging! Simply because he's been outspoken about Museveni and his son's crimes. We got to this point because everyone thought that someone else would fix it. Hopefully everyone now realises the collective danger and the collective duty. Only then shall we be free.
28th June 2026 | FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
STATEMENT ON THE CLOSURE AND MILITARY SIEGE OF UGANDAN MEDIA HOUSES AFFILIATED TO THE NATION MEDIA GROUP
The National Unity Platform strongly condemns the military’s arbitrary closure and continuing siege of @ntvuganda, The @DailyMonitor, @sparktvuganda, @DembeFm, and other media houses under the @NationMediaGrp that started at dawn today Sunday, 28th June 2026.
The closure, enforced outside any known legal framework, is a primitive attack on press freedom and the citizens’ right to access information -- moreover by a regime now committing even worse tyranny than what it supposedly sought to end when it waged the 1980s war.
We stand in solidarity with the journalists, editors, staff, leadership and audience of the affected media houses, and empathize with all who are going to bear the related economic losses.
We urge all citizens and institutions, particularly political actors and members of the civil society, to prepare for increased repression in the coming days owing to the deepening constitutional crisis in the country.
Historically, the determination of Ugandans to be free has outlasted every regime that thought it was powerful enough to stay forever or clever enough to mutate into another. We remain confident that this time, too, the people’s aspirations for a free and democratic country shall prevail.
END
Museveni’s criminal son, acting with his father’s full approval, has moved to silence Uganda’s remaining independent voices by shutting down @NTVUganda, @DailyMonitor, @DembeFM, and @SparkTV.
This is the hash reality we now face, a country under open military rule, where fear replaces law and force replaces accountability.
But history is clear. Dictators always escalate repression towards their fall, pressing every button in desperation, until they press the one they never expected to be their last.
Uganda will be free!
Dear Maama Miria Matembe,
I stand with you in this dark and painful moment.
The harassment you and other women are facing from a childish coward masquerading as a general does not diminish your courage or dignity, it only exposes his weakness and moral bankruptcy.
The world is watching, and one day he will be held to account for his atrocities against the people of Uganda.
God be with you Maama.
It should be concerning that a senior citizen, former Minister and ironically a Member of the Constituent Assembly that drafted the 1995 constitution which contained the Bill of Rights to protect the citizens can be hounded in such a manner. Whatever that has befallen this country needs the urgent condemnation of all Ugandans of good conscience. Where is Dr. Miria Matembe?
#FreeUgandaNow
Our comrades who are facing the trumped up charges of ‘unlawful drilling’ were supposed to return to the Kanyanya Court today for their matter but it has been pushed to July 3rd or beyond due to the ongoing solidarity peaceful demonstration announced by the Uganda Law Society.
