She’s here! Finally @AloikinOpoloje has just been brought to Buganda Grade 1 Magistrate’s court. We are yet to establish what or how many cases she’s being charged with.
FREE ALOIKIN PRAISE!
The abduction of Ms Praise Aloikin Opoloje has me stumped.
From what we gather, she said some really mean things about the General. Whether that then rises to the level of a crime or not is a different matter.
But if indeed @PoliceUg deemed it a crime, why didn’t they arrest her and process her through a clear criminal justice system as opposed to working as a trap for onward transfer to armed, unidentified men?
.@AloikinOpoloje yesterday joined a long list of many Ugandans that have been abducted and disappeared mostly on the orders of CDF Muhoozi Kainerugaba. She joins Sam Mugumya who was disappeared over a year ago and maimed, King Zale, William Baliza and many others. The @PoliceUg which is tasked with the responsibility of protecting citizens aids these abductions, the @JudiciaryUG who are the custodians of justice do the same. If we are lucky for Aloikin to be released from incommunicado detention, the @JudiciaryUG will send her to prison without any questions about the criminals that abducted and tortured her!! #FreePraiseAloikin #EndAbductionsUg
So happy that many young people have been speaking up for @AloikinOpoloje!
While certain actions can cause fear, smart dictators know that too much of seeking fear can become counterproductive; don't seek for fear too much that you make people numb to it!

Shame on you @PoliceUg! This is what impunity looks like when it is allowed to fester unchallenged.
What you have done is a deliberate, calculated betrayal of the one duty you have towards Ugandan citizens. A police station is not a loading dock for abductions of citizens.
You’re aiding State sanctioned disappearances executed with the full compliance of the one institution constitutionally bound to prevent it? Do you have no shame?
Produce @AloikinOpoloje and let the public know her whereabouts. Allow her access to her lawyers and family.

The reported arrest and incommunicado detention of activist Praise Aloikin by security forces is deeply concerning. If she has committed any crime, produce her in court immediately—not in a basement. Free speech is a right, not a crime.
