The Ugandan authorities have brought abusive criminal charges against an opposition politician, Muwanga Kivumbi, apparently based on his criticism of the president’s son.
Authorities are weaponizing the justice system to harass and target its critics and opposition. https://t.co/DGfUPk1IT5
An activist and former aide to Dr.Kizza Besigye, Sam Mugumya was abducted by armed men and plain clothed security operatives from Mbarara on August 26, 2025.
Since then, Sam has never been accessed by any of his relatives or lawyer.

Yesterday, @kizzabesigye1 was only partially conscious. He could hear but could not speak. He remains extremely weak. Doctors are still trying to determine what happened to him.
Our family received a briefing from the Mulago doctors treating KB. Yet Prison Officer Siima denied me, his next of kin, the right to join the briefing by phone. His reason? He “didn’t have permission.”
This is the arrogance of arbitrary power. Even at a patient’s bedside, basic rights and human dignity are treated as privileges to be granted or withheld. I am on my way from Rio to be with my spouse. Stand aside, Siima. No one will keep me from him.
Justice Baguma: "If you so wish, take any other step you so wish. But as far as legal representation is concerned, we shall follow the decision of the court."
Hajji Lutale: "I want it to be on the record that, as of now, as the prosecutor has said, I have not consented for anyone to represent me in this matter. You [Judge Baguma] can follow what you want, but I have not consented. That must go on record. I have not consented to anyone to represent me in this matter.”

Watch the moment Ugandan opposition leader Dr. Kizza Besigye collapses in court during his treason trial.
The 70-year-old, who has been detained since November 2024, collapsed while objecting to state-appointed lawyers representing him.

The day found us in Kasese, so we took off time and checked on the mother of our deceased sister and comrade, Marinos Alexandria. Maama Marinos is grateful to all those who have supported their family since the death of her daughter. She informed us that a team of foot soldiers and the @NUP_Ug leaders in Kasese have been visiting her regularly and giving her logistical and psychological support within their small means. The sense of family and solidarity is incredible. We're more than grateful to them. May Marinos' soul continue resting in peace.
