In a country with a serious government, these three individuals @AAgather, @SpireJim and @GodwinTOKO would be awarded national honours for opening the lid and blowing the whistle on the grand corruption that was taking place in Parliament. I can't help but remember the kind of vitriol they received from regime apologists for releasing details of shocking transactions of billions landing on personal accounts. At the highest level, they were branded traitors and agents of foreigners.
Today, the same facts they revealed are stated in court documents. Even when the regime continues to harass them for their work, this moment provides all of us a lesson that when you remain consistent at doing the right thing, you'll most certainly be vindicated at the right time.
The U.S. needs to review its security relationship with Uganda. Gen. @mkainerugaba's attacks on free speech, including shuttering major media houses this weekend, make him & the UPDF unfit partners. We should only work with those who advance regional security, not diminish it.

Whichever way you look at it, Yasin Ssekitoleko aka Machete has been in detention for very long without his case ever coming up for trial.
Yasin is unsure if he will ever get his day in court.

"I have not seen my son for 12 years. When he was imprisoned in Congo I always wondered if I will ever see him again. When he was released and he went to exile (Zambia), at least I had an opportunity to say hello to him on phone.”

REBELS: When the State acts lawlessly, the Head of the Bar must rise above personal loathing, exile, and ideology to bang the table for the liberty of every abducted dissenter.
Where’s @NinyeTabz?
#FreeAllPoliticalPrisoners#PayAllMedicalInterns
WHERE’S @NinyeTabz?: No citizen should be spirited away in an unmarked vehicle, commonly called a “drone”, without due process, warrant, or transparency. Such tactics erode the rule of law, sow fear, and betray the constitutional protections every Ugandan is entitled to, regardless of their political affiliations or online activities. We unequivocally condemn this cowardly act and demand his immediate production and fair treatment.

Let me respond to all the inquiries I’ve been receiving here at once: no, unfortunately I haven’t heard a single word about the whereabouts of @NinyeTabz😭 and it isn’t because I haven’t made calls and asked. The most concerning and dangerous reality of our country is the decentralized anarchy and the fact that the very security agents that are supposed to protect us are for sale to the highest bidder. Anyone with money now can hire them to abduct you and harm you. So it’s hard to even establish whether Tabz is being held by the state or by individuals he has rubbed the wrong way. We know a couple of them here. Either way, the burden is on the state to produce him or search for him. If they don’t, all of us as his friends will get up and march in search of Tabz. For God and my country. #FreeTabz #FreeAllPoliticalPrisonersUg
