Since the long spectacle that has lasted since last Thursday, where the Opposition leaders have been detained in Naggalama Police Station since then and suddenly taken to Rukungiri Magistrate Court to be charged. They we’re yesterday after a 5 hour stand-off on the courtyard of Rukungiri Magistrate, before re-arrested. We we’re assuming the individuals in question would be taken some other police facility as they were traveling across Western Uganda and towards Kampala, even passing Wandegeya, before in midst of late finally dropping off Dr. Kizza Besigye at his home.
I don’t know if they did the same to the other fellow inmates and if they were just dropped off in the middle of the night. This was people taken out of their own cars and taken in a Police Convoy, which was driving in lightning speed. Certainly, the fellow Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) has seen their torture and their pain for the days in detention. As they we’re awaiting trial way over the 48 hours rules of the constitution. Also, the aftermath of the near assassination, as the bullet in the back-window was really well put on the Thursday 19th October. However, they have been detained since Friday, when they we’re taken and blocked from traveling to Kabale.
“Police sieged Rukungiri Courts all day after we got bail. We remained inside car parked at Court’s door till it was broken &pepper-sprayed!” (Dr. Kizza Besigye, 26.10.2017).
We are not surprised as the Police has done similar things to him in the past and to his comrades. The FDC leader has had his troubles and his car has been wrecked by the police several times. This is just in a long line of oppression and assaults on his freedom, as he is the sign of opposition and peaceful defiance against the violent and oppressive state. Therefore, they will continue to this, as long as he tries to address the public. They will not leave him be, because they how powerful he is.
Dr. Kizza Besigye deserve better, all of the activist that is lingering or taken because they stand against the NRM or the lifting of the Age Limit. All of them deserves better. However, the state will continue to follow, monitor and detain the people who stand in their way. Expect soon to see Besigye in a Police Van or behind bars. All he have to do, is to take part in some sort of rally or public display in regards to the Age Limit. Then, they will send him packing and come with full steam, nothing left to chance. That is just what they do and what they have done.
Besigye, is public enemy number one, not the ones killing ladies in Wakiso or Entebbe, no that place is left for Besigye. If not, why he is that easily arrested and detained without impunity, while the killings and murders are left to continue. We get the point and the gist of it.
Therefore, for now, he has limited freedom, but that is for now. What happens tomorrow or the day after is not easily to guess, but do not expect him to not be legal trouble. Since the state has branded him and made sure, he has that title. Peace.
