THREAD ON TORTURE VICTIM #MwesigwaEric
On 14th Feb 2023, as a lawyer with @NUP_Ug, I accompanied Eric to the Uganda Human Rights Commission to formally lodge his complaint of abduction and torture. We arrived at the Commission at 11AM, and stayed there until about 06:00PM. 1/19

For over 6 hours, I sat next to Eric as he narrated in Luganda his ordeal to the UHRC officer assigned to record his complaint. Contrary to our earlier skepticism, the UHRC officer turned out to be an empathetic, meticulous lady who REALLY cared to do her job well. 2/19
For the entire time we were there, I never complained of hunger or how tired I was or how the process had dragged because I wanted to make sure that Eric's complaint was captured with as much detail and precision as he narrated it. 3/19
This morning we were supposed to appear on Wa Radio in Lira and then proceed to address the NUP Lango Sub-regional mobilisation teams. The program was cancelled on the orders of the RDC & DPC. The proprietors of the station were instructed not to host us! #WeAreRemovingADictator
We decided to proceed and engage with the station manager, but the police and military blocked us amidst heavy teargas and bullets. The great people of Lira turned out in large numbers to receive us and show strong disapproval of the regime's continous witch-hunt. Afwoyo matek!
Regarding our meeting with the mobilisation teams, our coordinators submitted the letter of notification to the DPC but the DPC sent them to the RPC who sent them to the IGP! You can imagine the level of fear the illegal regime has for the PEOPLE.
Countrywomen and men,
Today was yet another testament that the military dictatorship is on borrowed time, and definitely on its way out. They are simply very scared of the people.

After blocking us from addressing a radio program in Mbale, they teargassed our people, beat them up and harassed them in many ways. But I want to thank those who braved the teargas and beatings and joined us to listen to the message of change.
I want to thank all of you in all the areas we passed for the massive love. We do not take this for granted, well knowing that you braced so much intimidation for you to come out!
Tommy interviews #Uganda politician, former presidential candidate, & musician @HEBobiwine about his brave fight against a military dictator; & how US assistance can prop up anti-democratic leaders.
