I'm grateful to Clooney Foundation for Justice for facilitating the monitoring of my court trial when I was imprisoned for writing a poem for dictator Yoweri K Museveni 's birthday. My lawyer and friend, Isaac Ssemakadde is an amazing comrade in crime. Watch the summary of that trial here.

I am going to ICI Berlin to give a keynote lecture for the 'RECOGNITION' symposium.
It is great to live in a country protecting academic freedom. My expertise is recognised and valued.
My lecture is titled 'Unrecognized in Life, Misrecognised in Death'. ici-berlin.org/events/stella-…

To strengthen my morning Tweet on BOBI WINE 's inconsistencies of crying for his human rights to be protected, while simultaneously paying the salaries of body guards who beat up women journalists and break their cameras, GREMAJA and Uganda Human Rights Commission (UHRC) issued press releases. Nkt-nkt!
