According to this report by experts from Mulago Hospital that is circulating online, Dr. Besigye is still unable to talk or write since he collapsed in court over 3 weeks ago. Despite receiving the report, and in Dr. Besigye's continued absence, the presiding Judge Baguma Emmanuel insisted on hearing testimony from the regime's mercenary-witnesses against a man who is clearly unfit to stand trial!
The regime is determined to fulfill its promise that Dr. Besigye will only leave prison in a coffin, and Baguma is more than eager to facilitate his execution! With this brazen regime capture of the institutions supposed to protect justice, the responsibility falls on all of us as citizens to CONFRONT and REJECT the injustice using every lawful means at our disposal.
I am not safe.
Individuals wearing UPDF uniforms came to my residence, accompanied by a drone.
Fortunately, I was not at home at the time. I later reviewed my security-camera footage and saw them at my door. I am concerned for my safety.
VIDEO: The legitimate President of Uganda Bobi wine has sent a strong message to the people of Masaka and Uganda at large: Don’t lose hope. God is on our side.
Let’s remain focused, mobilize, organize, and stay united. The end of this dictatorship is coming, and a new chapter for Uganda is on the horizon.
This is comrade Masudi. He wasn't born like this, nor wasn't beaten by a stepmother. Instead, he was brutally tortured by museveni's regime simply for supporting president kyagulanyi @HEBobiwine. This has happened to so many people who oppose the regime. Some have had their legs or hands drilled into, while others have been forced to step in fire. Bcoz of this, we can't even imagine immence pain our brother KING ZARE is going through right now. We have also seen what they did to SAM MUGUMYA who did absolutely nothing wrong. If we truly want to stop this criminality in our country, we must stand united as one to push this regime out. If we don't, we will continue to suffer. Now we see the elites fleeing the country, if they're running away, what will happen to ordinary citizens who don't have money to escape abroad. Musituke tutambule
Almost 4 months later, our comrade and brother, King Zale, remains missing! He was abducted near our studio in Kamwokya on 21st April 2026. The information we have is that he was tortured so bad that he's unable to walk!
Freedom House’s 2026 report awards Uganda just 33 out of a possible 100 points for freedom, placing it in the “Not Free” category.
"While Uganda continues to hold regular elections, their credibility has deteriorated. The country has been ruled by ... Yoweri Museveni since 1986 [who] retains power through patronage, intimidation, and politicized prosecutions of opposition leaders. Uganda’s civil society and media sectors face legal and extralegal harassment and state violence." See the detailed scorecard here. https://t.co/7SrpgBHDGF
I have never been this worried! I have never been this terrified! What did the state do to Dr. Kizza Besigye? When he collapsed in court, instead of immediate medical care, he was held in secret for close to four hours by the very authorities prosecuting him. His family and personal doctor were locked out until 8:00 PM.
A week later, he is still incredibly weak and still unable to talk.
Those that wanted to “deal with him” for all these years, finally had him all alone, unconscious!
This post isn’t made to alarm any one but yes Dr Kizza Besigye’s situation is worrying and critical!
There is no greater hypocrisy than that of Yoweri Museveni.
For 40 years, you have presided over a regime that has become synonymous with torture, enforced disappearances, illegal detention, corruption, and impunity. Yet you stand before the nation with a straight face, condemning the very crimes your government is committing.
This is the same man who publicly boasted that his soldiers had beaten me “very well” after the brutal events in Arua in 2018, during which my driver, Yasin Kawuma, was shot dead. Today, you pretend to denounce torture as if Ugandans have forgotten.
You criticize Andrew Mwenda, yet he remains one of the closest public defenders and enablers of your son—the very man to whom you have entrusted enormous, unchecked power. Your son has repeatedly made public statements celebrating violence against political opponents and has shared images of detained and abused Ugandans with apparent pride instead of shame.
You speak about human rights while conveniently ignoring the many Ugandans whose lives have been shattered by your security agencies. The ordeal of Eddie Mutwe, the abduction and reported abuse of Hon. Muwanga Kivumbi, the continued detention of countless National Unity Platform supporters, and the countless families still searching for loved ones who disappeared after being taken by state operatives and the numerous reports by local and international human rights organizations all tell a story completely different from the one you are trying to sell.
Then there is Sam Mugumya. Abducted in Mbarara in August last year. Months later, a deeply disturbing video emerged showing an emaciated and apparently physically incapacitated Sam, reportedly inside Kasenyi Military Barracks. The images shocked the nation, yet they have been met with silence and denial instead of accountability. If seeing a fellow Ugandan reduced to such a state cannot stir your conscience, then your speeches about humanity are simply hollow.
Popular musician 'King Zale' was picked up from Kamwokya and to date, his where abouts are still unknown. Those that have recently been released from the same Kasenyi barracks have mentioned seeing him there having been gravely tortured.
Ugandans have not forgotten the “drone” abductions, the torture allegations in safe houses, the prolonged detention of political prisoners, or the violence witnessed during and after the 2021 and 2026 elections. Many victims returned with horrifying accounts of abuse. Others have never returned at all.
At your age, one would expect honesty, humility, and reflection. Instead, you continue to insult the intelligence of Ugandans by denying what millions have witnessed over the years.
Had I not escaped into exile, I might well have suffered the same fate as many other Ugandans who have reportedly been tortured, disappeared, or imprisoned simply for exercising rights guaranteed under our Constitution.
Many young people remain behind bars because they supported a different political vision. Their only “crime” was believing that Uganda deserves freedom and democracy.
What makes your statements even more astonishing is that you once condemned exactly these practices. You justified taking up arms by accusing previous governments of torture, arbitrary arrests, election rigging, and abuse of power. You promised that Uganda would never again be governed through fear. Yet today, your government stands accused of repeating, and even institutionalizing the very practices you once claimed to be fighting against.
History has an interesting way of exposing hypocrisy.
