First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out, because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out, because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out, because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me…and there was no one left to speak for me - Martin Niemoller.
We should all be reminded that injustice only succeeds when people wait until it’s their turn to face it.
No one is safe until we’re all safe!
A girl born in 2003 is giving me terms and conditions for our relationship to work. She even told me to “be a man”😅
I’m out here getting lectured by someone who was 7 during the World Cup in South Africa 😭
Several youths arrested last month for protesting against corruption are posting on social media horrific stories saying they were tortured in detention by SP Joel Ntabu “Matsiko,” (@NtabuJ), the OC CID of Kampala Central Police Station.
Apparently, SP Ntabu isolated some female protestors in a room, savagely assaulted and kicked them, threw them over furniture, and then dragged them through the police corridors. He is accused of intimidating concerned suspects who attempted to get them medication, boasting that the youth were lucky he hadn’t shot them dead! Another protestor says Matsiko tortured him so bad that the was unable to walk for the next several days.
Last week, there were reports that some of the youth protestors were also raped in detention. All these allegations are deeply concerning. We hope the regime will feel some shame and take action, although we don’t expect much! #StopAbuseOfPowerUg
