It's encouraging to see the release of activists who were unjustly detained for exercising their right to freedom of expression. Their arrest, while planning to address pressing issues through a press conference, underscores the ongoing challenges faced by those who stand up for democratic values and advocate for change. The release of the three National Unity Platform MPs on bail is a positive development, though it highlights the ongoing struggle against politically motivated charges and the repression of dissent. MPs Francis Zaake, Hassan Kirumira, and Charles Tebatendege, along with the activists, continue to show tremendous courage in the face of adversity. Their commitment to addressing the concerns of the youth and advocating for their rights is commendable. These recent events reinforce the need for greater protection of fundamental rights and the importance of upholding democratic principles. We remain steadfast in our support for those who work tirelessly to promote justice and democracy in Uganda.
This drama must stop
