The former
Presidential Candidate of the National Unity Platform-NUP Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu

supporting him.

failing to get justice in the supreme court, we decided to go to the court of
the people and when we call upon you the people who have been victimized by
these actions of the regime, don’t waste any time
to rise and join us," said Kyagulanyi.

supporters.“We are doing everything possible to secure the freedom of our friends,
over 3,000 people are in both known and unknown prisons across the country and
those are the few whose relatives have managed to report to us," Kyagulanyi added.
He told the
families and relatives of the victims that the court of the public that he recently
announced of taking his petition to is the only court where they will get
justice for their people.

Cue out…the court we’re ,”//
