BOBI WINE

When I spoke with Dr. @SarahBireete on phone this morning, she already knew that the intention of the regime was to keep her in detention until after elections! It is therefore not surprising that she's been remanded till the 21st of January, six days after the election! Her interrogators told her that she's been spreading poisonous words by exposing the flaws in the Voters' Register, telling people to defy illegal directives regarding our use of the National Flag, as well as the illegal directives to leave polling stations after voting. Just like comrade Waiswa, the regime cannot afford to have some of the most outspoken people out there educating the masses about their rights, at such a critical time! They prefer to keep people in the dark - BUT IT IS NO LONGER WORKING. We're an awakened generation. The kind of ridiculous charge placed on her shows that these criminals understand the extent of inconsistencies in the Voter Register, reason why they're going for citizens who have tried to expose them. She also revealed to us that majority of the credible organisations have been denied accreditation to observe the elections in Kampala and Wakiso - a red flag for potential delays in delivering electoral materials, voter suppression or outright ballot stuffing, violence and other forms of rigging! We stand in solidarity with Dr. Bireete. Other than dampen our spirits, let these violations give us more reason to fight on until we regain our freedom.
