The pain of parents whose children have been abducted by the Museveni dictatorship in thousands. For simply supporting me and NUP, these young people are tortured and some murdered! We call on the world to stand with Uganda in these very dark days.

"..the men in plain clothes took her to their car and drove off without telling us what the matter was. After they had left we checked in our sitting room and found that all the campaign posters of Mr Kyagulanyi had been taken alongside her."

"In towns, cities and villages, young men are disappearing, especially known supporters of NUP Platform. Grim accounts are emerging from relatives, friends and former abductees about the unexplained disappearances." observer.ug/news/headlines…

"Many youths have been picked from their homes in the dead of the night by gun-wielding men, others have been grabbed off the streets in broad daylight while others have simply run and gone into hiding."

“The soldier asked me what Bobi Wine’s plan B was. I told him I didn't know what he was talking about. Soon after, I was blindfolded and dragged out, only to be battered endlessly. That was simply the start of the torture sessions."

"On December 29, Lubega attended a burial. On his way back, he was grabbed by unknown people and taken to an undisclosed location. Although he faintly remembers how events unfolded....Lubega recalls feeling dazed, after taking a cup of tea with colleagues he had travelled with."

Apart from being in a smelly place, we ate right in front of our toilet, we moved guided by our sense of touch, since we could not see, we never knew what time of day it was. ... The experience of feeling blind is depressing, you cannot imagine,” Lubega said.

Here is 75 year old Regina Namukasa. On 6th January, her three sons were abducted by security operatives. Her search for them in prisons hasn't yielded. She is one of the hundreds of parents and relatives whose people are missing.

Segawa Ronald is 22 years old. He appeared in a video, encouraging Ugandans to vote for me. For that, he was trailed by security operatives. They abducted him. For two weeks he was missing. He was later dropped off at Mulago mortuary- those who picked him thought he was dead.

He was burnt, electrocuted and his fingernails plucked out. Puss has been oozing out of his nose and eyes. His entire body bears marks of extreme torture. He remains unconscious. That's why we're taking Gen. Museveni to the ICC. These crimes against humanity must be accounted for

Dear friends, so humbled by the outpouring of love on my birthday. This day in 1982, as my parents dealt with consequences of a stolen election & war raged on in many parts of Buganda, I was born. Growing up to this age is a long story. Am thankful that I've been able to get here
1087
I dedicate the next phase of my life to continue fighting these injustices. Aluta continua.

It's been ups and downs- a life full of lessons. As I approach the fourth floor, I get it that the best way to live, is to live with the truth in your heart. Deepest thanks to all who joined us in mass today as we prayed for our comrades in prison, those kidnapped or murdered.

Masudi Luzige is 20 years old. On Nov 18th when I was brutally arrested & security forces went on rampage, he was shot in the chest and mouth at 8:00pm in Nakifuma. They left him for dead. There must be accountability for crimes against humanity!

Gen. Museveni came on TV, admitted to the abductions of our people while downplaying the extent and effect! Like all tyrants, he pushed the narrative that all is well, with hundreds of mothers, fathers and siblings in tears over missing loved ones. Here's part 1 of the list:

Nubian Li is my singing partner for 20 years. We've done hundreds of songs together. On 30th Dec, he was arrested with my campaign team. 49 of them were ridiculously charged in a military court with possession of ammunition & remanded! To date, they've been denied bail.
1097
The world must see Museveni for who he is; a cold, ruthless tyrant who uses everything, including kangaroo courts to suppress those who refuse to be compromised and oppose his regime of blood. Yes, we hurt but we SHALL NOT BE COWED. This is a righteous cause. UGANDA will be free

The callousness. The lack of shame. The lack of respect for the citizens!

Today we went to the @UNHumanRights office in Kampala to deliver a petition against the continuing abductions, torture and murder of our supporters. The military was waiting. Right outside the gate of the UN office, they attacked and beat up journalists and elected leaders!
