“My family and I, as well as fellow leaders, comrades and lawyers from NUP visited Luzira and Masaka Prisons today to check on political prisoners,” he said.
Bobi, ho visibly grieved during the visits, noted that they checked on 35 NUP comrades that were abducted from within the country. “We also checked on the former presidential candidate, Dr Kiiza Besigye and Hajj Obeid Kamulegeya. After this, we checked on Eddie Mutwe and his group who are being held at Masaka Prison,” he wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
He said they checked on about 35 NUP comrades, whom he said were still in high spirits despited of th persecution.
