The Leader Of Opposition Re-Tables The List Of Missing Persons In Parliament.

The Leader of opposition Hon. Joel Ssenyonyi has today the 4th of April 2024 re tabled the names of missing persons in Parliament in their bid to secure their release.

Through his X account, the Leader Of Opposition said ” This afternoon in Parliament, I’ve once again laid on table the list of missing persons including John Bosco Kibalama (whom Prime Minister Robinah Nabbanja said was arrested and she knows where he is), plus those in jail like Olivia Lutaaya for over 3 years without trial.

We’ve tabled these lists in Parliament before, shared the same with UHRC, and the same records are in court where the matters are. So for those fellows in Gov’t who say they agree with us that their Gov’t is brutal and continues to illegally detain political opponents, they can access the lists, and stop pretending that they don’t know who these people are or where the lists are.

We continue to demand for the immediate release of these Ugandans who are being persecuted. Recently, myself and other MPs stood surety for those in jail after the court martial irregularly rejected their parents and spouses as sureties saying they are not substantial.

On 15th April, the Court Martial is going to rule on our substantiality as sureties. If the court martial thinks Parents, Spouses and National leaders are not substantial sureties for these persecuted people, we shall demand that they tell us who we should bring to court that is substantial enough.”

This comes after the newly appointed state minister for gender, labour, and social development in charge of children and youth affairs Mr. Balaam Barugahare publicly requested the President to pardon all the young men and women who were arrested due to political reasons.

The President said that he would look into the matter, though he assured him that he would not pardon those facing murder charges.
