A total of 246 civil society organizations from around the world, brought together by their global alliance CIVICUS, have written this letter to the international community calling for urgent action to stop the escalating human rights abuses and dictatorship in Uganda.
The letter highlights arbitrary arrests, abductions, torture, attacks on journalists and Ugandan civil society organizations, electoral fraud, and the continued targeting of opposition leaders, lawyers, and human rights defenders. It especially urges bodies including the UN, African Union, and East African Community to ACT NOW and reign in dictator Museveni and his depraved son Muhoozi.
We welcome this strong show of global solidarity and call on the international community to act decisively before the situation in Uganda deteriorates beyond a point of no return. https://t.co/b1JVXJL7lM
What do you expect when these agents of oppression are all handpicked by the same person, from the same group, to serve the same purpose ?
Ugandans should profile every one of them. One day, they too will have to answer for the pain, suffering, and injustices they have inflicted on innocent citizens. History has a way of demanding accountability. A day will come!
Three days since his abduction near @NUP_Ug's former headquarters in Kamwokya on 17th June, comrade Andrew Natumanya 'Tabz' remains missing. Our teams are doing everything possible to locate him but no positive results so far. We continue to demand his immediate release, and remain committed to ending this impunity once and for all!
📌 A reminder that 81 year old dictator @KagutaMuseveni, who is criminally clinging to power since 1986, and presides over violence, electoral fraud, and the stifling of opposition and civil society, is not and has never been democratically elected, has no valid mandate, and the legitimately elected President of the Republic is @HEBobiwine.

They're staging these roadblocks inconveniencing citizens everywhere in search for a man who's hiding in plain sight. One would think the Museveni regime learnt from its experience in the bush not to bother searching for anyone the citizens decided to hide, but clearly it didn't.
I was very fortunate to meet and draw inspiration from the American civil rights icon, Reverend Jesse Jackson, who sadly passed on today.
In word and deed, Jesse Jackson taught us that the struggle for human rights is a universal calling to humanity as a whole. He also taught us that ordinary people, when organized and courageous, can successfully confront and topple or force to reform entrenched systems of injustice.
For us in Uganda who continue to fight for our basic human rights, his life serves as a timely reminder that moral courage will always outlive oppression. Despite facing hostility and imprisonment, he never abandoned his belief in the power of the people.
At a time when many young people are questioning whether peaceful struggle can truly cause change, Jesse Jackson’s legacy answers with a firm YES. But that is only if we persist, if we unite, if we believe, and if we refuse to give up even in the face of impossible odds.
May his soul rest in eternal peace. And may his example strengthen our struggle for a New Uganda where justice is a right, not a privilege.
This morning, a team of @NUP_Ug lawyers and leaders tried to access our home in Magere. They were blocked by police and military operatives who have kept my home under siege since they raided it a month ago. They violently arrested one of our lawyers, Kakuru Tumusiime, and brutalised him. After several hours, they dumped him at a police station where he was interrogated about my whereabouts before being released on bond. They've charged him with 'common nuisance'. All this criminality taking place on a day our nation is commemorating Bishop Janani Luwum Day. UGANDA WILL BE FREE.
