Spare some time off your work to read the tweets & comments before they're deleted. We are witnessing history, actually!
If history teaches us anything, it is that we are witnessing the spectacular unravelling of the NRM - & its bastard son, PLU! We'll tell these stories, man!
When Sam Mugumya was abducted on August 26, 2025 in Mbarara district, his lawyers immediately filed a habeas corpus application. On September 5, 2025, Judge Collins Acellam granted the application, and an order was issued directing the Respondents (CDF, DIS & AG) to produce Mugumya within 7 days before a competent court. The Respondents refused to produce Mugumya denying having him in his custody and the case was dismissed in December 2025.
On October 13, 2025, @AgoraCFR transmitted the case of Sam Mugumya to the United Nations (UN)Working Group on Enforced Disappearances. On March 6, 2026, the Working Group wrote to Agora informing them that the case of Mugumya had been considered and transmitted to the Government of Uganda, on October 13, 2025, under its urgent action procedure. The WG hadn’t heard from the Ug Gov’t by May 2026 when it sat again and in June sent another reminder to the Gov’t
In August 2026, when a video of a visibly tortured Mugumya surfaced online, his lawyers filedanother habeas corpus application. It is yet to be heard by court and @AgoraCFR shared the video with the WG and the @UNHumanRights
If even with the recent admission from CDF Muhoozi Kainerugaba that he illegally has Sam Mugumya these institutions don’t act, it will be confirmation that we are completely on our own at the mercy of inhuman criminals. #FreeSamMugumya #SaveSamMugumya
@nilepostnews@PLUsecretariat Lumbuye is not a criminal but a freedom fighter who speaks truth to power. Muhozi is a criminal who abducts Innocent Ugandans and torchers them in his basement.
Fred Lumbuye is not a criminal but he's a freedom fighter, a voice for the voiceless and a citizen journalist who chose to speak truth to power when many chose silence.
For years, Lumbuye has used his platform particularly through his popular online show to expose corruption, human rights abuses and bad governance in Uganda. His crime is that he has been a mirror to the regime. He has given hope to millions of Ugandans in the diaspora and at home who feel oppressed and unheard.
He has never advocated for violence. His only weapon has been his phone and his words. That is not criminality. That is activism protected under international human rights law.
Handing Fred Lumbuye over to the Ugandan authorities, particularly to the hands of @mkainerugaba and the security apparatus he commands( @MODVA_UPDF and @PoliceUg ) would be tantamount to handing over a lamb to a lion.
We have all seen what happens to government critics when they are returned to Uganda 🇺🇬
- Torture and Illegal Detention; Numerous reports from human rights organizations detail the torture of political activists in safe houses and illegal detention centres.
- No Fair Trial; Lumbuye would not face an independent judiciary. He would face a politically motivated trial where the outcome is already decided.
-Threat to Life; His life would be in immediate danger. His outspoken criticism of the First Family and the military leadership has made him a marked man.
Turkey 🇹🇷 is a signatory to the @UNHumanRights UN Convention Against Torture and the principle of non refoulement, which prohibits returning a person to a country where there are substantial grounds for believing they would be in danger of being subjected to torture.
We as Ugandans who love freedom, humbly appeal to the @TurkeyAffairs Government of Turkey 🇹🇷
Do not be complicit in the silencing of a freedom fighter. Do not legitimize transnational repression. Fred Lumbuye's activism in Turkey has been peaceful. He is not a threat to Turkish national security.
We call upon the @UNHCR, @amnesty ,@hrw and all people of good conscience to intervene and ensure that @lumbuyefredk is protected.
History will judge how we treat those who speak out against oppression. Fred Lumbuye stood for Ugandans. Now is the time for the world to stand for him.
Hands 🙌 Off Fred Lumbuye, freedom of speech is not ot a crime.

I told you people not to do something as radiculous as making everyone mop the town. We have reached a point in 2026 where people are being killed by @PoliceUg and other's being canned just because they refused to sweep. The government should be using modern garbage trucks, night sweepers, and street mopping vehicles. instead we're still cleaning by hands and being forced to do so, as if citizens don't pay taxes.
Personally I told my people to stay home, good enough every month I pay taxes when I send money back home. It's up to those in government to use that money wisely and hire professional workers to do the cleaning. I will not pay taxes and then turn around to do the very job the government is supposed to do. I will never sweep. And the government officials need to realize that the citizens are your bosses. If they can't do their jobs, they should leave the offices and let capable leaders take over, rather than taking people's lives over such absurd matters.
The subtext here is, Bahutu are subhumans and Bahima are the true humans. Some people warned our parents and grandparents about Museveni ascending to the highest office in the land, they didn’t listen and now we have to pay the price, if Muhoozi ever becomes President, whom shall we blame for genocide against people from the tribes he doesn’t like? The boy traffics in discrimination, ethnicity, sectarianism and hate.
