ANOTHER CONVICTED ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIVIST WROTE THIS LETTER AND TOLD ME TO SHARE IT WITH UGANDANS AND THE WORLD. AM KEISHA ALI One of Eight environmental, climate and human rights activists that has been convicted unlawfully and unjustified. I condemn this conviction as very unlawful and injustice procedure of court and unconstitutionaly according to the constitution of the republic of this country under article 17 clause B that state that "its a duty of every citizen of Uganda to respect and protect the right and freedoms of others and article 17 cause J states that "its a duty of every citizen of the republic of Uganda to create and protect a clean and healthy environment" Article 39 of the constitution of this country give us a mandatory right to a clean and healthy environment. All these articles of the constitution of this country give us freedom and right to protect our environment and to respect the rights of others. As s citizen of the republic of Uganda, article 29 of the constitution give us a mandatory right to assemble and to demonstrate together with others peacefully and unarmed and to petition. My message to my fellow activists is that being an activist is not a crime and nobody should get scared and be threatened because we are in the prison and I believe one day one time we shall get justice. Its our right to fight for democracy, against corruption and injustice and for our rights and liberty. Liberty is crucial ina free and democratic society as breath is to life, liberty is the very essence of freedom and democracy. WE SHALL NEVER SURRENDER KEISHA ALI

bobi wine told us despot museveni will be arrested soon & that efforts are underway to secure an icc arrest warrant. many folks applauded, but i am not convinced by this same old rhetoric! my leader should be more realistic & lower his expectations in the icc.

Meanwhile, kids at Intangoli Primary Sch. in Budaka study in broken classrooms. Mulago Hospital, no beds, but bring 10k or get no care. If taxpayers fund MPs’ comfort while citizens die for lack of basics, who is @UGgov serving?

1)What exactly are these billions “protecting” when education & healthcare are collapsing? #UgandaIsBleeding @VaticanNews @governatorato @USEmbassyUganda @UKinUganda @SwedeninUG @DKinUganda @EUinUG @JanSadek @NLinUganda @GermanyDiplo @IEAmbUganda @FCDOGovUK @KampalaJournal

1) As the dictator hands UGX 100M to each NRM MP — UGX 37B of OUR taxes gone — St Peter’s Intangoli Primary in Budaka has pupils learning on bare floors with no books. Mulago, patients sleep on corridors & pay 10k just to be seen. What exactly are these billions “protecting”

After 3 years of brutal conflict in Sudan, we need urgent action to end the death, the suffering, and the use of rape as a weapon of war. As we meet in Berlin for the Sudan conference today, the world’s worst humanitarian crisis must no longer be ignored. telegraph.co.uk/global-health/…

bobi wine betrayed political prisoners!

@tompaocaya @hillarytaylorvi @NUP_Ug Is that a threat and on behalf @NUP_Ug ?

@hillarytaylorvi Given your consistent attack on BW, I am beginning to get convinced that @NUP_Ug must be a very tolerant party if you are still a member. However I can only confirm this if it can continue to tolerate this when you are in Uganda. Now it may consider your attacks inconsequential!

journalist: are sanctions realistic at all? bobi wine dodges the question on whether sanctions on despot museveni are realistic since for many years, usa 🇺🇸 & europe have been the regime’s backers. he simply repeats the call but ignores past failures of sanctions in uganda.

It's a reminder that oppression aren't just about physical violence, but also about erasing identities and cultures.

UN Human Rights Chief @volker_turk launches a US$400 million funding appeal for 2026. "With mounting crises, the world cannot afford a human rights system in crisis. The cost of our work is low; the human cost of underinvestment is immeasurable." ohchr.org/en/press-relea…

Living in fear of the unknown is a nightmare. What's happening to our people & what's coming for us?

@UNHumanRights @volker_turk It's deeply troubling when regime uses derogatory language like "dogs" to refer to a group of people, the Baganda, especially when they have historically taken their land, culture & autonomy #StoptribalismagaistBaganda @IntlCrimCourt @UKParliament @USEmbassyUganda @EUCouncil @UN

It's like they're saying, "We've taken everything from you, & now we'll also insult your humanity." @AU_Union @hrw @StateDept @foreignoffice
