In Kamwokya, Kampala, the National Unity Platform (NUP) head office has been surrounded by security forces as the party prepares to hold prayers for their alleged supporters who lost their lives due to the actions of the current regime.
In an announcement made on Sunday, Kyagulanyi stated that they intended to gather at their party offices on Monday to pray for their comrades who were killed, abducted, or are still missing.
He expressed his frustration with the actions of the security forces, who had blocked their plans for prayers.
“The military and police have once again raided and surrounded the NUP Head Office in Kamwokya, preventing us from holding prayers for our deceased, detained, and disappeared comrades,” Kyagulanyi voiced his concerns.
He mentioned that no one was allowed to enter or leave the office and questioned the behavior of the regime, especially during their “independence” celebrations.
Kyagulanyi criticized the regime for behaving worse than the colonialists they had replaced.
“While Museveni and his small group celebrate nearly forty years of looting and plundering our nation, we will stand with the families of the victims to remember their loved ones,” Kyagulanyi added.
As of now, Kyagulanyi remains confined to his home, allegedly to prevent him from mobilizing for a march.
He was detained at the airport without going through regular immigration procedures and has been blocked from leaving his home since then.
Several of his supporters have also been arrested.
It is uncertain whether Kyagulanyi will be granted permission to venture outside today.
This preventive arrest tactic is commonly used by security agents to restrict the movement of leading opposition politicians, often leading to extended detentions.
