As an ex prisoner at Luzira Murchison bay I know what our comrade Sammy is passing through, @ugprisons should not be torture chambers but transformation centers. #WhereIsSammy?
#BREAKING Sammy was transferred to Kitalya prison after being beaten and his hand and leg broken, his prison number in Kitalya is 5014 according to his long time friend @TheBryanYouKnow
Threats on my life
Last Thursday 1st Aug 2024, someone called my elder sister and said they had a message for her from CMI. They asked her if she was in town and she told them she was on Entebbe road. She had thought this would discourage them from insisting on meeting her but they said they would find her wherever she was.
She suggested they meet at Quality mall in Lubowa. Within a few minutes they were there and they called her. She was still going about her business in the neighborhood so she asked them to give her 20 mins. When she got there, there were three men seated who waved and told her they’re the ones waiting for her. They said they have confirmed she’s my sister because we look alike.
They told her they’re from CMI and they had come to tell her to warn me that they will kill me. They told her they know where I jog from, they apparently even knew where I was at the moment they were talking to her because there’s someone always following me waiting for an order to run me over or bump me off the road.
Reason; because apparently they will not allow some small girl to give them sleepless nights because she can afford to get money from foreign agents to pay young people to protest.
When my sister said that’s not true they told her I’ve been receiving money on my phone to which she responded that I had told her people asked me to receive contributions to help those that were arrested. “Why must she be the one to receive the contribution?” They asked arrogantly. My sister responded that she didn’t know the reason. They called someone that they put on the phone to emphasize the point to my sister that they claimed was Birungi the head of CMI.
They didn’t give her their names but a person that saw them at a distance told us one is called Muzoora and another one Chris Bya-something. They didn’t know the third one.
I am putting this here so that if something happens to me or any of my family members well meaning Ugandans will know where to start.
You guys don’t own this country and you definitely don’t own our lives.
Tomorrow I will write about the genesis of this whole paying money to protestors propaganda.
#StopAbuseOfPowerUg
@PoliceUg at Kampala Central Police Station (CPS) is illegally detaining Sammy Okanya, a Ugandan comedian, since his peaceful protest on Tuesday—beyond 48 hours—& are busy asking him who’s funding him as a condition for his release. @GovUganda@KagutaMuseveni. FREE Sammy NOW.
True. Comedian Sammy Okanya is at CPS, Kampala. I spoke to him yesterday. Two lawyers I sent saw and talked to him. He told me that he was tortured in the head and that he is tortured by CPS @PoliceUg whenever he fails to answer. May Court free him!
