‘First Lady “death” case’: Journalist seeks dismissal over lack of court jurisdiction

@Mukosearnanth PD, Digitalk TV, a media and human rights activist, is charged with sending false distress signals and broadcasting claiming @JanetMuseveni was dead has asked court to dismiss

@BalaamBarugahar @DailyMonitor You wanted the paper to call her mum? Do we have the title First Lady in the Constitution? Isn't Janat her name? Didn't you understand the question and who they are looking for? How better would you wish the paper to make their audience understand who they're referring to?

[Mukose Arnold Anthony @Mukosearnanth]

@MwesigyeFranks @JanetMuseveni Since you aren't a journalist, you don't understand the principles of news headlines crafting. You think headlines should be a statement or a sentence with all your titles & positions.
What is wrong with asking her about? Blame the government PR departments, not the paper.

but simply wants to prove an unwise point. 3/3

I sometimes wonder whether this so-called Justice Emmanuel Baguma studied law or understands what justice and fair hearing mean.

I think the devil is sometimes more lenient, merciful, and professional in executing its duties than this “(in)justice” Baguma.

What kind of legacy, precedents, and track record—as an individual, as part of the judiciary, and as a family member—is he trying to create?
Indeed, the judiciary is dead. If his supervisors can't tame him, who will? Surprisingly, one might find that this crook has no orders

@tumwesigeandre9 @regesa @DailyMonitor In media, what you are claiming to be disrespect, is actually acceptable.

Some of us are doing our best to ensure our great-grandchildren inherit the Uganda our forefathers fought for.

Many find our actions—our activism—unbecoming and unpleasant because they are either non-Ugandans, paid to destroy Uganda, or simply outsiders. 1/3

I will personally use every means at my disposal to promote, protect, and preserve the integrity, sovereignty, and pride of my motherland, regardless of some people’s discomfort.

I love my motherland and am ready to stand up for her until my last breath. 2/3

@KamogaMunawa But who told you that someone who hails from other regions can't settle in Central and being born from another region takes away a right to participate in national leadership? Unless if he resides outside Central.

By replacing Sirajje Ali the son to Moses Ali shows that your agreement isn't just about the parents, but goes beyond to families of two of you, and those who say, you don't respect agreements, you have disproved them. Though I expect less out of your fishermen.

@GabrielBuule Thanks for the observations and paying attention to the small but major details.

@brianmixologist @CPJAfrica @sdkafeero @AlternativeUga Which professional code of conduct did I go against? Can you prove your allegations?

[Mukose Arnold Anthony @Mukosearnanth]

Tortured physically, mentally, and emotionally, but I thank you for raising the voice, and I believe your necessary noises made an impact.

The Committee to Protect Journalists calls on Ugandan authorities to immediately disclose whether they have detained @AlternativeUga journalist and activist Mukose Arnold Anthony and to ensure his safe return, following his forcible disappearance in the Ugandan capital, Kampala, on Sunday.

“The brazen seizure of Mukose Arnold Anthony in broad daylight, outside a radio station, is an appalling abuse of human rights and media freedom,” said CPJ Africa Director @angelaquintal.

I'll live to remember the 4 days in the very cold torture chambers and 34 days remand over practicing a profession, media, and Human Rights Advocacy and Defense.

#Uganda: @pressfreedom condemns Wednesday’s remand of @AlternativeUga journalist Arnold Anthony Mukose to prison until April 14 as a shameless attempt to re-criminalize online speech through the backdoor.

Three days after he was snatched off the street, Mukose was charged, under Uganda Communications Commission @UCC_Official licensing regulations, with broadcasting “fake news” and “false signals” that First Lady Janet Museveni was dead, amid speculation over her absence from public view.

“Silencing journalists through licensing regulations flies in the face of the spirit of last month’s Constitutional Court ruling striking down parts of the Cybercrime Act used to target online speech,” said CPJ Africa Director @angelaquintal.

“Uganda should be strengthening protections for free expression, not repackaging old restrictions to silence critical reporting. Arnold Anthony Mukose must be released immediately and all charges dropped against him.”

#Uganda: @pressfreedom renews its call for the immediate release of journalist Arnold Anthony Mukose of @AlternativeUga who was further remanded in Luziira Maximum Security Prison until May 5 because the magistrate was not in court to hear his bail application on Tuesday.

“The decision to hold Arnold Anthony Mukose behind bars for five weeks provides disturbing evidence that Uganda’s security apparatus is criminalizing journalism by any means necessary,” said CPJ Africa Program Coordinator Muthoki Mumo. “It is a perversion of justice to use administrative regulations to keep a journalist in a high-security prison, bypassing last month’s constitutional court ruling that protects online speech.”

Mukose was snatched off the street by security operatives on March 29 and charged under @UCC_Official licensing regulations with broadcasting “fake news” and “false signals” that First Lady Janet Museveni was dead, amid speculation over her absence from public view.
