Thinking about the political prisoners who are languishing in various prisons on trumped up charges. They are prisoners of conscience who are being persecuted for their political beliefs.
On this Martyrs Day, we honor the sacrifices of these comrades and we continue to advocate for their freedom. From the Machete group that has been illegally detained since 2021 with no fair trial to the Hon. Muwanga Kivumbi group, we call for their freedom.
We concur with the 1968 Martin Luther King Jr phrase, “We shall overcome because the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice." Someday, we shall overcome all this repression.

On 3rd June 2019, Johnbosco Kibalama was abducted from Gayaza Road. Today marks seven years since he was taken away without trace. He was a pioneer #PeoplePower coordinator. In these 7 years, his mother, father, andl wife have passed on. All manner of efforts have been made to locate him without success. Robina Nabbanja has previously confirmed that he's in the custody of the state. And yet, Kibalama is still missing. How sad that his captors chose #UgandaMartyrsDay to commit this great crime against humanity. As we commemorate this day, we take a moment to remember all our disappeared, murdered and detained comrades.

Spent most of the day at the International Crimes Division of the High Court, where we stood surety for Hon. Muhammad Muwanga Kivumbi and the other detained comrades. Praying with hope that they will be granted their freedom. They did not commit any offence!
Just got the terrible news that we’ve lost our brother @MasterParrot .
Old funny conversations, careless hearty laughters are the painful memories you live with us my friend.
Until we meet again.🫡
