Museveni is so scared of Bob Wine and his revolutionary ideas that anyone found wearing a red t-shirt in support of the #PeoplePower movement is beaten to a pulp.
Bobi Wine reveals, "Since yesterday, I have been trying to wrap my mind around that video showing soldiers beating up people with herding sticks in Kasangati. One man commonly known as Sweet Pepsi was badly beaten and his head was bleeding profusely. I have talked to him this evening and he is still in pain, although improving."
He continued, "Today, this other secretly recorded video surfaced. The video shows police officers bartering a young man inside a police station for supporting PeoplePower! They are heard jeering and insulting him as they kick him, punch him and do all sorts of things to him.
"One of them is seen displaying a red t-shirt and as if that's a crime, he launches another attack on the innocent citizen of Uganda! You can hear him groan in pain, but these police officers, shamelessly putting on our national flag, will have none of that. What kind of human beings are these?"
Adding, "Are these our brothers and sisters? Are they Ugandans? Of course as they did all this, they foolishly thought that no one was watching. I must salute whoever recorded the video and I encourage all of you friends to always record these violations. The camera is sometimes the only weapon we have to bring these crimes to the attention of the world. Twebelelemu!"
Bobi pointed out, "Whenever we talk about these things, you see some regime apologists quickly come out to deny and ask for proof. After torturing you, they come out and say you are lying against them.
Yet these are the things that happen at these facilities every hour, every minute! And do you see how one of them laughs with satisfaction after beating up a fellow citizen? This is what I cannot understand. How do they sleep at night after doing this? What do they tell their children? That they are coming from work?
With this proof, I have requested our legal team to immediately identify the officers involved and take legal action against them in their individual capacity. We are also gathering evidence to strengthen the case we filed at the United Nations Committee Against Torture.
In the meantime, all citizens of Uganda must rise up and condemn this level impunity. I have said many times that not all security personnel are this brutal.
I hope those who still have some values can join the nation in condemning the rogues who work amongst them.
You don't want to put on a uniform or identity with a force whose image is being soiled by these rogue elements! Uganda is for all of us.
We cannot continue to be treated like this in our own country. NO. We are not slaves. We deserve to be treated with dignity and only we the people can put an end to this madness.
We shall overcome.
Watch the horrid video of the public assault here.
