The continued detention of several National Unity Platform (NUP) supporters and the unresolved whereabouts of many other opposition activists have once again sparked a new debate about human rights, political freedoms, and the state of Uganda’s democracy as new questions come.<\/p>\n

Several NUP supporters and mobilizers remain incarcerated at Luzira Prison on various charges ranging from unlawful military drills to security-related offences as captured over the years and among those currently in detention are; Eddie Mutwe, Achileo Kivumbi, Bobi Young, Bobi Giant, Waiswa Mufumbiro, Olivia Nalutaaya, and others.<\/p>\n

Over the years, many of these individuals have become recognizable faces within the opposition movement and are widely viewed by NUP supporters as victims of political persecution due to their close association with opposition leader Robert Kyagulanyi, popularly known as Bobi Wine.<\/p>\n
