The evil, shameless hypocritical dictator casually says that Dr. Besigye should have demanded a quick trial instead of going on hunger strike in protest of his continued illegal detention. He adds that the military court was ready to conduct the (illegal) trial! Yet, it is the same Museveni who has ensured that NUP supporters spend FOUR YEARS in detention without trial. Four years! All this while, no evidence has been brought against these young people, no witnesses to pin them for any wrongdoing. Instead, his operatives have been visiting them to compel them to plead guilty to crimes they did not commit with promises of money and jobs. So what quick trial is he talking about?! Our demand still stands. Free Dr. @kizzabesigye1 and the other political prisoners! #FreeKizzaBesigye #FreeChairmanNyanzi #FreeAllPoliticalPrisonersinUganda #FreeUganda
We have so far profiled 46 civilians who were being tried in the military court for political reasons. There are many more! It is now over two weeks since the Supreme Court ordered the regime to release these people or transfer them to civilian courts.......the regime has chosen to ignore the urgency of the matter, and chosen to keep them under illegal detention! Let everyone do everything within their power to end this madness. #FreeAllPoliticalPrisonersinUganda
