Besigye arrested after making surprise visit to downtown Kampala (Youtube-Clip)
“Dr. Kizza Besigye, the former FDC presidential candidate, has been arrested by police after drawing huge crowds in suprise visit to downtown Kampala on Wednesday morning. Prior to Besigye’s arrest, security forces were seen dispersing crowds with using and teargas. In the ensuing chaos Dr Besiye was arrested by police and reportedly driven to Nagalama Police Station in Mukono district. It is not clear how Dr Besigye made it to the city centre since he has been under preventive arrest at his home in Kasangati on grounds that he posed a threat to public order. Besigye, who has been claiming the February 2016 elections were rigged in favour of President Museveni, has repeatedly claimed he was the rightful winner of the elections. Deputy Chief Justice, Steven Kavuma had recenytly issued a court order barring FDC or any of the party’s agents against organising any procession or carrying on with the defiance campaign pending determination of a constitutional case filed by government” (NTV Uganda, 2016)
Dr. Kizza Besigye passed through the besieged gates of his home and apparently driving around Central Kampala!

As the Banned Defiance Campaign have let him be house arrested in his home for 6 days, and this would have been his seventh day under siege of the Police Force in Kasangati. But for some apparent reason he has been able to pass through and drive around in Kampala.

Somewhere is the DPC James Kawalya of Kasangati crying of his blindness and of having ignorant Police Officers at the gates of Besigye’s compound. Somewhere else is IGP Kayihura uttering mad curses as he wonders what to answer his Master President Museveni, as he promised to monitor and control the activities of the Forum for Democratic Change and Besigye, especially when the Swearing-In of Museveni are happening at Kololo Independence Ground together with leaders from Swaziland, Lesotho, Zimbabwe and so on.

That Dr. Kizza Besigye is drving around like nothing in the Streets of Kampala. Is another slap on the face of the power of Museveni and his Police Force! When they intercepted him he was already downtown and then he was already open and visible to the people of Kampala. As they haven’t really seen him at all since the Election Day; he has only been brief moments and then detained. For Museveni at the moment he is the arch-criminal as he is playing on his playground. Something President Museveni hates viciously as he should get this praise and these locals to stop by when he drives, but they don’t, they do this to Besigye!

So a special event this is, as the Police Force and the government is cracking down on any force of opposition or men who speaks against the message that the current President speaks of. So enjoy the pictures and know who the true leader of Uganda is, it is Besigye and not Museveni as his time has been and he is overstaying, the reason why the Police is detaining opposition leaders and activist as we speak.
A tiny update:
“Rt. Col. Dr. Kizza Besigye escaped police custody, has been sworn in (evidence to follow), now arrested” (Forum For Democratic Change, 11.05.2016).
So he got arrested again by the Police Force who was on his tail. That was expected as they does not want him arround and again take him in, as they tries to silence him! That is something the world should know by now and the Presidents and world leaders that attend Kololo tomorrow are there to verify the wrong man in the Ugandan Nation. Not mention the men and woman who voted and their ballot didn’t matter. That is for those men Besigye is out there and fighting for. Besigye can’t even drive around without being arrested and detained by the Police. That is not freedom or liberty! Peace.
The continuous harassment of the Opposition in Uganda; detained up-to 150 and more to come as the Swearing-In is around the corner!

There are certain levels of misogyny and agony of the civilians and Opposition leaders that have their houses surrounded and the Police Force closely detaining them.
The levels of impunity and the access of them with that the Media is silenced and stopping to write on it as they fear the National Resistance Movement. The Media and Journalist fears the government so much that they even right after Hon. Jim Muhwezi said it was banned stopped saying the word “Defiance” on live TV; it was so hilarious and sad at the same time.
Today there is still nothing clarified with the whereabouts of Ingrid Turinawe, during the night Wafula Oguttu went from being monitored to become house-arrested. Ibrahim Ssemujju Nganda is detained, Lord Mayor Lukwago is house-arrested, Dr. Kizza Besigye is house-arrested, Francis Mwijukye is either house-arrested or detained as his state is not cleared. There are estimated that the FDC Party have a 150 members and leaders in total together with the ones mentioned in jail, house-arrest and detained.

The word Defiance is banned and the campaign of the opposition is by an unlawful decree or court order illegal. Which have made Forum for Democratic Change them illegal and all activity from them the same. By the ways the Police Force are acting and detaining them. Harassing them and taking them in. Without real charges or illegal activity as the Ruling Party NRM have troubles with Prayers and wearing Blue shirts in the country of Yellow and Steady Regress.
The Ruling Party NRM and President Museveni is gearing up for the Swearing-In to his 7th Term, though officially 5th Term, but it is Seventh Term because I does not cut away the first decade of his rule as he was unelected to that part. He grabbed the first ten-years in power and have done it again. Therefore he has to made FDC illegal!

The Ruling Party is saying they are starting a NEW ERA with the Swearing-In on the 12th May, if that means to be draconian empire run by a President Museveni who eats alone. Who makes other thinkers and other men and woman criminal by a law that gets used when it fits the Executive! President Museveni is so controlling and so overbearing that he goes into investigations of killings of a Boda-Boda driver, all of sudden shows up at Hospital and complain at the underpaid staff that they are lazy, while his institutions are not delivering as promised equipment or medicines as the monies for this is embezzled by his loyal cronies!
The New Era is and will start with not the words of democratic values as it was ushered in, back in the day, even if there were uncertainties at the time as Museveni had no wish to open up the space for multi-party democracy. And it is now proven that he really never wanted it. It was just done to silence the foreign donors so he could be a continued fueled by donor funding to keep the budget balanced. Now he seems not to care.

The New Era starts with relics of the past oppression of opposition. They are detained and arrested. Some are even charged with terrorism by local courts. The other are detained for long and detained in jail. The proud regenerate government that was supposed to deliver something new and make the country stable and safe, not only for the political elite, but also for the people! That is what is happening now and therefore the NRM elite is trying to defend the inaccurate interim order that makes this all happen and mask the illegality of these arrest. As I cannot believe any nation, not even North Korea has laws where the “Prayers for the Nation” is banned and directly illegal.
The Police are surrounding the homes and detaining the FDC leaders in their homes and the silence of the media comes as result of the assault of the freedoms of speech and political liberty of people to choose their political aspiration. Seemingly is that the oppression and the levels of Police brutality as the ruling regime wish to have a silenced country in the coming days as the President is making himself ready for the Swearing-In at Kololo Independence Grounds.

So what more can the Police do then fill the prisons with the FDC members and leaders. House-Arrest their leaders and take them away with no charge or criminal activity behind them. The Police under Museveni is making the FDC the enemy and with a vile force, they might have detained at most 50 FDC leaders in 2011, but now they are up to 150! They want to rewrite history as the rule is illegitimate and not just. The truth is so and therefore President Museveni is Swearing-In with the gun and with the civilians and political advisories detained and house-arrested or taken away to unknown location.

Also the continued siege of the FDC Headquarters at Najjankumbi where the Police are entering and are arresting the FDC staff and bannishing the journalist from the property. As viable proof of the extent the NRM Regime is hassling with the guns to silence the FDC at this point. They are not allowed with party works or with orginizing their party as they are now totally in the mercy of the Police Force who got ‘Carte Blanche’ to take them all without charges or questions. They have even beaten the journalist who are there at the FDC Headquarters to learn them the lesson of not following instructions from the ruling regime.
In numbers the talley of who has been taken today alone:
“4 FDC leaders have been kidnapped.
1 senior attorney is languishing in hard-core criminal investigation police torture facility.
50 plus FDC Rukungiri supporters including leadership members.
37 other FDC activist brutaly arrested for attending prayers” (Moses Atocon Atyekwo, 09.05.2016).
His Power is not fueled by the People, the popular ballot, but instead by the force of the Police and the Army. As long as he is paying them and making them and the leadership of the army and police happy, then he might sustain, but the people should think about if the FDC and the FDC leadership can be taken without impunity, who is next? Are you or your neighbor as the Police will round you up in your home and detain you at the Police Post or the nearest Prison. Certainly the levels of arrests and detaining is gone too far as the unlawfulness of the NRM is in full bloom! Peace.
Elton Joseph Mabirizi statement on the illegal confinement of the opposition (09.05.2016)

Fellow Ugandans, fellow East Africans,
On behalf of The Independent Coalition and on my own behalf, we condemn the arbitrary arrest of opposition members in Kampala, Rukungiri, Kabale, Wakiso and other places.
We also condemn in the strongest terms the illegal confinement of President elect leader Dr. Besigye, the Leader of Opposition, Lord Mayor, Erias Lukwago,Hon. Semujju and others yet verified, in their homes.
We appeal to all well meaning Ugandans and the East African fraternity to bring pressure to bear on the Museveni regime to treat his inevitable successors with dignity and respect the rule of law.
To all change agents in Uganda and abroad, this is the time for total unity and decisive action.
Let each one of us play their part in this challenging yet hopeful period.
The regime in Kampala is now at its weakest.
For God and My Country.
Kasangati Statehouse: Winne Byanyima had to be monitored by the Calvary; Before she was denied to enter her own home!

We are used to that the gates of Kasangati is closed and that fellow Forum for Democratic Change leaders are denied access together with Journalist as they are detained at Kasangati Police Station. Now today on yet another day that Dr. Kizza Besigye is under house-arrest. The Police Force is holding him monitored and monitoring everybody who trying to get into the house and compound there. The same happened today even to the wife of Besigye!

But today proves the little humility and the little brashness of the Authorities; as Winnie Byanyima the wife of Kizza Besigye have been stopped and had to show all of her suitcases as she was supposed to enter her own home. The Security Forces or the Police denied her entrance at the gates and are closed to drive in there. By the Security Forces who has closed the gates.

So she is not getting the same treatment as Besigye from the arrogant and merciless forces of the NRM Regime. They don’t care about the person unless it is NRM elite, the rest can be flogged or hurt as long as NRM get to keep the Power and rule the country. Peace.
Press Release: Ugandans rise up in defence of democratic rights; Mr. Museveni’s regime responds with brutality and bans media coverage of FDC activities (06.05.2016)



Dr. Kizza Besigye Statement: “Today, was the first day of demonstrations in demand of an Independent Audit of the 2016 presidential elections” (05.05.2016)

Today, was the first day of demonstrations in demand of an Independent Audit of the 2016 presidential elections. On this day, matches were planned from FDC offices to assembly areas.
As expected, heavy military and police deployments were made in all towns; several leaders homes were barricaded; and many roadblocks were erected. This is all anticipated and good for the defiance campaign! The dictator’s forces are worn out, even before citizens take any action!
What was rather surprising, but quite in keeping with the panic and desperation of the NRM Junta now, was the statement made by Gen Jim Muhwezi, Minister of Information.
Inspector General Of Police (IGP) Kayihura, Attorney General Freddie Ruhindi and his deputy, Director of Uganda Communications Commission, and, ominously, the heads of major media houses, notably Nbs, NTV, and Vision group, accompanied Gen Muhwezi.

In his statement, Gen Muhwezi said: “All live broadcast of defiance activities should stop. Any media house that continues to cover them risks having their license revoked”. He went on to intimidate the media generally about any coverage of what he termed “defiance activities”.
Deputy AG Mwesigwa Rukutana told the press that Uganda, as a sovereign nation, doesn’t have to abide by international covenants regarding press freedom and other Human Rights!
The disgraceful actions of the NRM Junta, to further curtail press freedom in Uganda, should be strongly resisted. The Uganda media practitioners shouldn’t take this lying down. International media freedom defenders should also take appropriate action.
Another action in keeping with the panic mode was the flying of fighter jets over the Kampala city and surrounding areas! Military spokesman says they were on “routine test flights”.

From Mukono and parts of Kampala and Wakiso, there are reports of a presence of soldiers that speak languages unknown in Uganda. This raises worry that foreigners may be involved in the massive deployments.This would not be surprising considering that in the 2016 election, members of the armed forces are known to have voted overwhelmingly for change. That may have put the loyalty of most UPDF and UPF soldiers to the NRM regime is in question.
In spite of the heavy media and physical intimidation, Ugandans came defiantly came out and demonstrated in many parts of the country. Main action areas included Lira, in Northern Uganda; Mbale, Busia, and Kamuli in Eastern Uganda; Rukungiri, Bushenyi & Mbarara in Western Uganda; Wakiso and Kampala in Central Uganda.Many people were arrested and are being held in various police stations. Some of the people arrested were actually not involved in the demo. Our leaders are trying to gain access to all those arrested.

I congratulate the courageous citizens that have defiantly demonstrated today. Many people were waiting for me to get arrested! As I’ve pointed out before, this is not about FDC or me.
This demonstration is about citizens having their votes count; regaining control over their country; regaining control over state institutions; and regaining control over national resources.
Citizens want a country that works for them: ensures their dignity by having decent jobs; ensures good health care, quality education, modern infrastructure; a corruption-free environment etc.
That’s why the demonstration, including the prayers, will continue until the people’s will is respected. We shall overcome!
Picture Proof of Dr. Kizza Besigye under House Arrest (04.05.2016)

Yet again, we can see the compound of Dr. Kizza Besigye the Presidential Candidate of Forum for Democratic Change in the February 2016 General Election. He set under house-arrest while fellow activists are in Makindye Magistrate Court. IGP Kayihura promised this yesterday when he said he “would monitor” him again. That means closing his gates and all of his movement, as they have done 40 days before in this calendar year alone! This is the only Steady Progress that National Resistance Movement have the ability to deliver. That being making a fellow citizen home into a prision. Peace.
IGP Kayihura have set Besigye under House-Arrest again today; This comes as a result of the defying the Interim Orders of the banned Defiance Campaign!

After a few days of ability too move freely the buck stops and the Police Force have again sieged the Kasangati compound of Dr. Kizza Besigye the former Presidential Candidate of Forum for Democratic Change. This comes after the FDC have shunned the Interim Order of 29th April as they planned to pray at their offices for the future of the country. “For God and For Country” this is illegal by the maneuvers of the Police today.
So that the Police Force already had taken many of major leaders and affiliated FDC members around the FDC Headquarters in Najjankumbi in Kampala. As I have taken notes on earlier today. But the movement from the Police to seal of the compound of Dr. Kizza Besigye is the latest, not surprising as the Police have a special unit soon made for him alone.
Dr. Kizza Besigye is yet again not allowed to have a life and be an ordinary person as IGP Kale Kayihura and his Police Force together with DPC Kasangati James Kawalya will make sure that he does not leave the compound; yet again!
This is just a mockery of justice as the Interim Orders made by the Deputy Justice Steven Kavuma/Stephen Kavuma is not justified.

As these orders from both the Deputy Justice and the Inspectorate General of Police have breached this two articles of the Uganda Constitution of 1995:
“27. Right to privacy of person, home and other property.
1) No person shall be subjected to—
(b) unlawful entry by others of the premises of that person.
(2) No person shall be subjected to interference with the privacy of
that person’s home, correspondence, communication or other property”
That is not what the State does when they are interfering with the communication and the correspondence of the actions of Dr. Kizza Besigye, they are breaching it again and again. To a point that this passage of the Constitution is useless, because Besigye is not allowed to walk out or be part of Political Party by the orders of Police chief today. Here is what piece of legislation that the Police Force is breaching when they stop the administration:
“29. Protection of freedom of conscience, expression, movement, religion, assembly and association.
(1) Every person shall have the right to—
(c) freedom to practise any religion and manifest such practice which shall include the right to belong to and participate in the practices of any religious body or organisation in a manner consistent with this Constitution
(d) freedom to assemble and to demonstrate together with others peacefully and unarmed and to petition; and
e) freedom of association which shall include the freedom to form and join associations or unions, including trade unions and political and other civic organization”.
So with these breaches and the stops proves how little both the value of the constitution of 1995 is right now for the NRM Regime, as they can take these rights away every time it is needed or can help them to shut down the opposition. The FDC is now practically a unlawful organization who is not allowed to function or have their Political work in the country.

Because they are not allowed to pray, that is part of the “freedom to practice” as every person supposed to have the right too.. the same right is to demonstrate, or the ENGLISH different where I am from and the ones that Stephen Kavuma and Kale Kayihura is reading. They are might learned in specialized and coded English that says something else than what I am reading, because the constitution is the LAW that supposed to set the BAR and level for Justice in a country. Henceforth the Constitution of Uganda, the Constitutional law of the nation. The Republic and the Constitution that gives the land the rule of law; and gives the rights to the citizens, so they can be lawful persons and make sure that the government does not act unjust towards them!
This action today is again and again taken the opportunity to House Arrest Dr. Kizza Besigye while the NRM Regime, their Police State and the reality of the thieving regime does not even honor the laws they got credit to make 21 years ago. The Police Force does not care about the general laws, they use the Public Order Management Act and the other laws that fits the authorities, even if they does not work in the manner the Constitution sets the precedence for the legal authority and the rights a civilian or citizen might have. Something that Dr. Kizza Besigye supposed to have and is now again taken away. Peace.
