BOBI WINE

Earlier today, we addressed the nation on various matters of national importance. We spoke about the continuing human rights violations as well as the plight of political prisoners. Whereas the regime is coercing most of them to plead guilty to crimes they did not commit in order to drive a wedge between them and ourselves, we assured them and their families that we fully understand their pain and frustration. We shall continue pushing for their eventual release and supporting them in every possible way. Close to four years under detention without trial- these are true Ugandan heroes. They are prisoners of conscience. Sadly, the regime has deployed its agents, some of whom claim to belong to the opposition, go around blaming the victims, instead of blaming the criminal regime which has imprisoned them for all this time. Thankfully, the people of Uganda know the truth. We also underscored the importance of sanctions like the ones recently imposed on human rights violators in police. However, we must remind ourselves that development partners can help us in some ways, but the biggest duty to liberate our country lies squarely on the shoulders of WE, the people of Uganda! #FreeAllPoliticalPrisonersinUganda #BringBackOurPeople
