“Former FDC presidential candidate Dr. Kiiza Besigye’s wife Winnie Byanyima says his life is in danger. Byanyima confirmed the fears Dr. Besigye expressed earlier before the Nakawa Chief Magistrate James Eremye Mawanda. She spoke to NTV after visiting the former presidential candidate at Luzira prisons where he is on remand for treason charges. As Sudhir Byaruhanga reports, Byanyima’s worry was that wrong elements could infiltrate Luzira and harm Dr. Besigye” (NTV Uganda, 2016).

UGANDA: Sister of Arrested Former Presidential Candidate Addresses Media (Youtube-Clip)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_su18SuJOAM
“The sister of Ugandan former presidential candidate Kizza Besigye spoke briefly to the media outside Nakawa Court in Kampala on May 18 after he was formally charged with treason. Olive Kobusingye said she did not expect to arrive at the courthouse at 8.30am, 30 minutes before the alotted time of Besigye?s appearance, to find the session had already finished. ?By the time I walked to the court gates, it was, I think, quarter to nine, twenty to nine, and the vehicles were speeding out. I gathered that the court proceedings were over,? she said. ?This is not what we expected. Maybe we should be wiser with this government.? Colonel Kizza Besigye was a runner-up in Uganda?s February 2016 presidential election, losing out to Yoweri Museveni, who is currently serving his fifth term as president. February?s elections were overshadowed by accusations of ballot fraud and delayed arrivals of voting cards to multiple polling stations. Presidential hopefuls running against Museveni also experienced tactics of intimidation and violence on election day. A former Uganda Supreme Court justice, George Kanyeihamba, reportedly called for an explanation into Besigye?s most recent arrest and charge of treason” (JeanNewsTV, 2016).
Continued Oppression of the Opposition without any level of Peace; while the NRM tries to consolidate the power amongst the Presidents family with the elevation of Muhoozi!

Still days after the Swearing-in of both Presidents of Uganda, the Opposition is still under fire. The fire is burning and the opposition have to fight still for their liberties while the NRM-Regime tries to act as nothing happen. The National Resistance Movement and their Members of Parliament that are sworn-in tries to act normal.
Before the Courts open the Police had made roadblocks around the building and area around the Nakawa Court, so that not even boda-boda’s to pass, bicycles and cars was not allowed to enter the perimeter of the court. They did this to make sure the judgement and verdict of today’s court we’re not on public display!
As the FDC Presidential Candidate and the ones that question the Power of President Musveni, Dr. Kizza Besigye who we’re charged with Treason for his second time by NRM Regime, we’re today set in Court at Nakawa Magistrate Court. He came directly from Luzira Prison and back to Luzira in quick speed.

As FDC explained the Courtship of their leader:
“President Kizza Besigye has been charged with treason at Nakawa Court early this morning and remanded till 1st June. At 08:30 am Dr. Olive Kobusingye was near court but by the time she entered court at 08:40, The President was being taken away after being charged within a few seconds earlier. Media, lawyers, supporters and friends we were locked out” (Forum for Democratic Change, 18.05.2016).

Houses of Michael Kabiziguruka and Ingrid Turinawe have been closed and monitored by the Military Police.

As Ingrid Turinawe states herself:
“Comrades, police has cordoned off my house. Deployment very heavy! They have Taken positions all around the house. I can’t guess what they want to do next, it’s deep in the night. They arrived at exactly 1am. Two police trucks just parked crossing my way outside the gate” (Turinawe, 18.05.2016).
While Lord Mayor Lukwago had to hassle with Police Officers to be allowed to go to Court and defend his case, as he had today been up-to 14 days under house-arrest without a clear charge. The Police Officers accepted it finally. While he had courted a case with a legal team comprised of Hon. Sseggona, Asuman Basalirwa and Isaac Ssemakadde. The ones Judge looking over the case was G1 Magistrate, H. W Semondo of the Makindye Magistrate Court.

The verdict was finally positive as Lord Mayor Lukwago states:
“Isaac Ssemakadde formally moved court to, inter-alia order police vacate my home and forthwith set me free. Before court could give its ruling, which is reserved for 27th May, they hurriedly fled from my home. THANK YOU all for your prayers and support. Aluta continua” (Lukwago, 18.05.2016).
The newly elected Councillor of Makerere Doreen Nyanjura her former rental room have been sieged by a commando of military Police during the night, as the Police Force seemingly doesn’t know the right house.
This here is just a few cases as there is surely more and more coming in the coming days as the NRM regime is in shock mode to silence the Opposition and crush it, like President Museveni spoke about during the campaign and after. He has no quarrels of doing so to consolidate all power, that what this term is all about, therefore seconds after swearing-in Muhoozi Kainerugba was elevated from Brigadier to Major General and also wanted to establish a higher order for the Special Force Command, which initially the son of the President is in charge of.
So the regime is centralizing more and more power as even Gen. Salim Selah have been in charge of the Operation Wealth Creation and henceforth rigged the systems and funds so that the development haven’t really been there, as the Museveni-family could eat some of the funds from there too, do you think a family connected leader inside a project, wouldn’t be there for niceness of the President, no to control it and embezzle from it.
This here is happening while the FDC and FDC members linger in a limbo, while they are detained, house-arrested and intimidated. Not only the leadership and the headquarters, but the homes and others who has been a part of the Defiance campaign!

With that earlier today:
“FDC party members at Makindye court to answer charges of participating in the parties defiance activities. Reports Stephen Otage” (Daily Monitor, 18.05.2016).
There will be more to come and struggle continues as the National Resistance Movement and their head honcho Museveni who will use all the tools he has to silence them as he owns no legitimacy and honest leadership, as he orders inner-party and now pay the MPs to follow instructions, as the rumoured shillings 5m to vote for Hon. Jacob Oualanya for the Deputy Speaker in Parliament. So there are something brewing and the NRM Regime thinks it is back to normal, it isn’t as the FDC are still hunted and questioned at every second; also at all stages of the political spectrum. Peace.
Footage: President Kizza Besigye being driven away at break-neck speed back to Luzira prison amidst cheers from the people.
The People’s President Airlifted from Moroto amidst Public Protest against his detention; JUST-IN: Moroto Magistrate Court have order Besigye to be detained at Luzira!

Today the Defiance Campaign went into high-gear, so that the Officials and Police Officers in Moroto had to shoot tear-gas and try to disperse the public who wanted to take Dr. Kizza Besigye into freedom. Something the Police Officers was not accepting. Therefore these reports have shadowed the swearing-in of Members of Parliament, as the Treason Case and the unlawful arrest of Forum for Democratic Change leader have again spoiled the day for the Propagandist National Resistance Movement. Here are the reports!
“Moroto Chief Magistrate, HW Charles Yeteise grants state prayers to transfer Dr Kizza Besigye from Moroto to Luzira Prisons. The court has also transferred Kizza Besigye’s file to the Chief Registrar for reallocation to another court. The application presented by Moroto Resident State Attorney, Gerald Amaro was based of the following grounds:
(1) That the state had intelligence information that some dissidents planned an attack on the Moroto Prison to take away KB;
(2) That the offences against Kizza Besigye were committed between Kampala and Wakiso, so he needed to be in a court near the witnesses in the matter;
(3) That more accused persons to be joined on Kizza Besigye’s file live in Kampala and Wakiso districts; and that Kizza Besigye, being a former presidential candidate deserved to be remanded in a prison with better facilities, and such are only in Luzira.
The court granted the application at about 12:30pm and the accused person was immediately airlifted from Moroto” (NBS TV Uganda, 16.05.2016).

“Semujju Nganda (FDC spokesperson): Amama Mbabazi is one of the lawyers headed to Moroto to give legal support to leading opposition figure Dr Kizza Besigye
He has however declined to comment on the mock swearing-in ceremony video: “The matter is before court.” (NBS TV Uganda, 16.05.2016).
“Dr Kizza Besigye the FDC former presidential candidate has been flown in back to Kampala today from Moroto District where he was incarcerated since last week. According to the prisons spokesperson Fred Baine Mayanja the transfer follows a formal request from Besigye’s doctors. Baine says Besigye’s Doctor wrote to the Commissioner General of prisons that his patient be brought closer to him for easy and closer management. However there are contradicting reports that Besigye transfer was only prompted following a protest by angry locals demanding for the release of the FDC strongman and former party presidential flag bearer” (91.3 Capital FM, 16.05.2016).
“JUST IN: Moroto Chief Magistrate court has ordered Dr Kizza Besigye’s transfer from Moroto Government Prisons to Luzira Prison in Kampala. Chief Magistrate Charles Yeteise’s order follows Besigye’s request to be held in Kampala where he allegedly committed the offence” (Northern NewsWire, 16.05.2016).
So now the criminal in the eyes of President Museveni will be sent the majestic prison of Luzira, because he defied the unlawful government that he runs and question his legitimacy; that is an offence in Uganda and therefore he is punished. So now he is airlifted back as the silence of the international world, as they breaches of justice and detaining of Dr. Kizza Besigye. While him and other FDC leaders linger in unlawful arrests. This will be continued as the NRM Regime does whatever it can to silence the opposition and their leaders. Peace.
Uganda Police Force Charge Vs. Dr. Kizza Besigye (Ref: CIDHQTRS/E/094/2016) – Charge of Treason from Moroto Magistrate Court!


Gen Mugisha Muntu Reacts to Besigye Arrest, Govt is Panicking (Youtube-Clip)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsOtB4zp-30
“According to FDC, over 100 of its supporters have been arrested from different locations in the country in a wake of just two weeks. The party senior officials like Wafula Ogutu, Ibarahim Ssemujju Nganda, and Micheal Kabaziguruka have since the illegal swearing in ceremony remained under house arrest. The party headquarters have remained sealed off by police and security agencies prohibiting any activity. Not even the party president Gen. Muntu was allowed to access their offices in Najjanankumbi today, the reason he addressed the media outside the party headquarters while standing. The FCD party organ will sit on Monday to lay new strategies and send lawyers to Karamojja to rescue the embattled opposition leader Dr. Kiiza Besigye, who was on Friday charged with treason. Dr. Besigye was on Friday evening charged before Moroto Chief Magistrates Court presided over by the acting chief magistrate Charles Yepeise and remanded until May 25th when he re-appear in court for further mention of the case” (NBS TV Uganda, 2016).
The people of Moroto reacts to the “stay” or “detainee” of who is continued to be arrested there; Just-In: Besigye charged with Treason(!) at Moroto Magistrate Court!

As there has been gun-shots and Police Force out to the reactions of the Public in Moroto. Dr. Kizza Besigye have been detained since 11th May 2016 in Moroto Barracks, as the Government and Police Force wanted to silence him totally. Now some locals have reacted. Secondly there is reports that the Magistrate Court have taken him there and he will be served finally.
“The Deputy Police Spokesperson, Polly Namaye, said they were working with the Directorate of Public Prosecution (DPP) to prosecute him” (New Vision, 13.05.2016).
Latest:
Moroto Magistrate, who was already home after work, received a call from Bart Katureebe with instructions to ensure Besigye gets detained. Besigye have to be “detained/remanded” until 26th May of 2016.
“BREAKING: Leading opposition figure Kizza Besigye charged with treason by Moroto Chief Magistrate’s Court. Details to follow” (NBS TV Uganda, 13.05.2016).
Surely he will be re-arrested and charged with something reckless. That has been ordered from Up-High as the International Media and the Foreign Presidents have left the country. So now the NRM goes back to normal and prosecute the Forum for Democratic Change with vile force and whatever they do; it is illegal! Peace.
Important facts on How the British Colonial Uganda detained Pro-Independence Activists; Similarities to how the NRM does today!

Earlier in the day Charles Onyango-Obbo (COO) wrote this:
“Uganda opposition leader Besigye detained in Moroto, Karamoja region, where British colonialists detained pro-independence leaders in 1950s”.
Some deeper information on the matter; not from me, because the internet has a thing, it never forgets, but people does! There I am adding this to show the historical factors of what Charles Onyango-Obbo was tweeting. To prove the words, as you also should know the British tried to get rid of most of their records of their Colonial breaches and violations in their “Operation Legacy” in 1950s and 1960s where the United Kingdom destroyed deliberately documents of their operations in the Protectorate of Uganda and the other Colonies they ones ruled. Therefore there a lot’s of information and state documents that of historical value could verify and even say something about not too distant past.
Still, I have collected these quotes and they shows interesting facts as Dr. Kizza Besigye is detained at Moroto, and finally really see how much President Museveni does his dealings and oppressive his fellow citizens in ways that would have done Colonial London proud!
How British Colonial Government wanted to Silence the Baganda and Mengo!



The Quotes:
“Natives who first criticized colonial rule in 1945 such as Katikkiro Wamala and Samsom Kisekka were declared to be insane. They were deported to Arua and Bunyoro to ‘protect’ society from anti-colonial ideas”.
“In 1945 the colonial government in Uganda established the Special Branch to trace, neutralise and punish local opponents. The Special Branch is the equivalent of the State
Research under Idi Amin and the CMI under President Museveni. The Special Branch suppressed hundreds of nationalists through up-country deportations, torture, loss of employment and imprisonment”.
“Following the 1949 riots against the colonial regime, hundreds of people became ”Abalira kunsiko” (living in the bushes) to avoid the wrathful Special Branch”.
“Fenner Brockway, a British Labour MP came to Uganda to save their lives. The Special Branch used to deport their victims to isolated places in the bush in northern Uganda”.
“Between 1945 and 1950, the colonial government in Uganda criminalized native political associations to destroy any connection with anti-colonial mobilization”
“In November 1957, Yekosofati Engur was sentenced to three years for using the example of Mau Mau to tell a friend that the British were murderers and land thieves”.
I think that is enough for now. But in these days we live it is important to not forget the past as it has its own way to repeat itself, therefore the liberator is acting like a colonial master or a totalitarian leader who is a dictator with his own fully functioning Police State, as there are more tear-gas then medicines, and so on. While the Opposition are either detained, house-arrested or silenced. While he walk and his Elite walks like proud-cock around with the army and Police Force intimidating fellow citizens. Peace.

Fred Guweddoko 9th October 2003 – ‘Independence Came’
Social Media is allowed as the Foreign Dignitaries have left Kampala; but the harassment of opposition continues; with statements from Lord Mayor Lukwago and Hon. Oguttu!

With the Swearing-In over and most of the International Dignitaries left Kampala, the state thinks it puts things back to normal with lifting the Social Media ban, as the MTN Uganda have announced that the Social Media is back again without VPN. Still, the use of VPN shows the disobedience and level of disgruntled people who still use this ways to get online.
On Police in Kampala:
“Nearly every security agent in Kampala is walking with a stick. A truck was seen supplying sticks at different security outposts” (Andrew Bagala, 13.05.2016).
Still, the important news is this, Wafula Oguttu states this:
“Museveni ‘has put me and other opposition leaders including Hon Semujju, under house arrest for about a week now. Twelve policemen and soldiers have continued to block my gate. I do not get visitors .I am not allowed out. But they have not told me my crime. I am the so-called out going Leader of Opposition in Parliament The 9th.Parliament was dissolved yesterday and even the Speaker of the House did not say any anything most likely lest she annoys the Emperor. I am glad i managed to attend HE Kizza Besigye’s swearing -in ceremony on May 11. Do not ask me how i got out and back .But i did. They say our country went to the dogs .No .Dogs came to our country” (13.05.2016).

Lukwago Statement:
“DAY 9 OF HOUSE ARREST. As my mind is deeply engrossed in the continued illegal incarceration at home, the despicable act of banishing Dr. Besigye to Karamoja, and the apparent Museveni fall out with the western powers, then my friend Andrew Mwenda throws a below-the-belt-jab, regurgitating the oft sung narrative of regime apologists that I am a stumbling block to the transformation of Kampala. I doubt that he can make any reasonable response to the rebuttal given by my good friend, Frank Gashumba” (Lukwago, 13.05.2016).

This is it for now. More later! Peace.
