Did he say that we should be glad that those who are arrested are taken to court? How did that statement sit in the hearts of the families of these Ugandans who were abducted by state operatives between 2019 and 2020 and are still missing todate? Disappeared. Silenced. His regime desperately hoping they can be forgotten.
A few days from now, it will be three months since Christopher Goddy, a comrade and musician better known as 'King Zale,' was abducted from Kamokya. His family is very distressed, having looked for him everywhere without a trace.
As usual, the regime whose men abducted King Zale remains completely silent about his whereabouts – the same silence it has maintained about all other comrades who have been missing for several years now! We continue demanding for his immediate release from illegal detention and an end to this impunity!

He notes with concern reports regarding the detention of political and civic actors, including cases in which the whereabouts of some individuals have not been clearly established.

Akawungeezi ka leero ŋŋenzeeko mu maka g'eyali 'Lord Mayor' wa Kampala Ssaalongo Erias Lukwago okugumya ab'omumaka ge.
Embeera gye tulimu nzibu era yeraliikiriza kyokka tetulina kuterebuka, tubeere bavumu embeera eno tujja kugivvuunuka.

These African teams all ultimately lost to European teams after conceding at the 86th minute 🤔
Unlucky timing for the Ivory Coast, DR Congo and Senegal 😔
As I was leaving Luzira prison to check on our illegally jailed colleagues, I bumped into Igara East MP @MichealMawanda1 the Architect of the 164Bn cooperatives Heist at the entrance of where he should be confined!
I did the moral duty to deliver the message to the end consumer!
RM @RepGregoryMeeks: Moves by Ugandan officials to silence the press and human rights advocates directly undermine Ugandan democracy. The government must immediately end arbitrary detentions and attacks on media outlets.

Good evening Atim Sheilah Gloria, Someone as old as your mother is brought before you in this state and your conscience tells you that she belongs to jail and not in the hospital?
With utmost honesty, Uganda needs real redemption!
I agree with you, Senator Risch. Death threats, abductions, torture and the humiliation of dissenting voices, carried out openly by a brazen, lawless army chief, @mkainerugaba, are being normalised by a compliant police and judiciary.
Ugandans live in fear of the President’s son. All democratic governments and decent people should condemn and isolate this tyrannical regime.

I feel ashamed, and I wonder how shameless one must be to stoop so low and targets a respected senior women’s champion like Hon. Miria Matembe. This is very wrong by any standard.

Some of the messages I’m receiving from non-Ugandan friends since Friday:
- ‘We’re seeing the news, we’re with you people in prayers’
- ‘Is what we are seeing in the news really true? Not again Uganda’
- ‘Are you sure you still want to stay in that country?’
- ‘Western media exaggerates bad news from Africa. Are these exaggerations of what is happening there?’
- ‘I wanted to visit Uganda in December, but I’m only seeing scary stories from there. Is it wise to come?’
- ‘Do you think it will get worse or better?’
