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
