Today is start of a long journey, the ones celebrating that Bobi Wine got freed from Military Custody, celebrated to early. His journey to freedom is far from over. They will prolong his stay within in the legal system, as long as they can. Just like did to Gen. Moses Ali or even countless charges put on Kizza Besigye. Robert Kyagulanyi and the others will be in the Court system for ages, until the state finally drops it. When they have to get new charges for new crimes. That is what the National Resistance Movement (NRM) and President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni does to opposition. This is a play we have seen again. The tortured and arrested MPs, will still be in custody and await trials, as the cases are push forward for further discovery or whatever needs the state has at any given moment.
While that has happen. Here is re-cap of what that has happen.
In the early morning as Dr. Kizza Besigye was planning to leave his home in Kasangati, Wakiso. He was taken away by unknown men, as he later surfaced in Mukono District at the Naggalama Police Station. Detained by the authorities.
The message from Besigye before he was taken: “Every way out of my home is barricaded since very early today. The intention is to deny us freedom to move and to be at the Military Court where MP Robert Kyagulanyi is to be produced this morning. The struggle for freedom and sovereignty won’t be blocked! Museveni Must Go” (Dr. Kizza Besigye, 23.08.2018).
While Erias Lukwago, the lawyer representing Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine. Which was set for Military Court Martial in Gulu today. He has been put under house-arrest by the authorities today.
Ingrid Turinawe have also been put under house-arrest by the authorities as well.
While the Director of Public Prosecution Mike Chibita has written to the Lt Gen Andrew Guti to drop the gun charges against Bobi Wine, Kassiano Wadri and the 28 other suspects. In the letter to Court Martial, he also asked the case to moved from the military courts to the civil courts.
While Bobi Wine was freed for a hot minute from the Gulu Military Court, he was re-arrested on similar charges as before of illegal procession and for treason. Therefore, he will have to answer in a civil High Court instead of a Military Court. He is remanded into custody until the 30th August 2018. He was on crutches and struggling to walk in the Court Martial today. He will be in Gulu Main Prison until next court date and be put back in Makindye Military Barracks. So, he was re-charges against at the Gulu Magistrate Court today and therefore, the case will continue.
What we have learned today, is that the government and authorities are still working overtime to silence and stop the opposition from having space. As Besigye has to behind bars, Lukwago has to be house-arrested and not allowed to represent his client. Neither is the like of Turinawe allowed to go out.
The NRM are really just showing their lack of tolerance, freedom and liberty for anyone else than the President. Who can call out everyone by name and say they are inciting violence, while his state sponsored violence can address anyone. He can arrest and detain anyone at the snap of his fingers. That is why Besigye is behind bars, Lukwago blocked and Turinawe blocked. While Bobi Wine is just moved from the military to the civic one. He is still in legal jeopardy, just another place than before.
The rest are still charged with treason, even if the gun-charges are taken away, while the forged destruction of the Presidential Convoy continues. As the President had to swing by to check if they followed his orders. Peace.
