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.

What does getting consent to take photos mean within asymmetrical power relations? How does a victim obtain consent from an abuser during abuse? I explore the issues around the photo I took of 3 security guards verbally assaulting me at an asylum shelter youtu.be/UdDae0R-f0U

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!

Ugandan asylum seekers' lives matter!

Why do Ugandan asylum seekers quietly endure injustice? PTSD from home causes fear of police. Silence improves application outcomes. Unawareness of human rights...

I condemn dictator Yoweri K Museveni 's propaganda! youtu.be/fqBuTbwjTwc

I am in pain over 'Dehumanisation in Germany's Asylum System.'

A woman was forced to share a room with a bisexual polyamorous Ugandan man. When she objected, she was forced to share a bed with a woman who is a stranger to her!

God, are we sub-human?

The nasty ‘funeral exchange’ between BOBI WINE and Abed Bwanika is very telling of the ugly cracks inside National Unity Platform ! I really wonder what Mathias Mpuuga felt when he witnessed powerful men fighting over him in public. NUP is so gay!

I want to contest for Queen of monogamous long-distance love. I’ll win first prize. I swear, closed long-distance relationships are for a special tribe of humans! They take tough virtues & peculiar skills. One day, I will give keynote speeches on this subject… Give me my trophy!
