The legal team of the National Unity Platform (NUP), led by Counsel Sam Muyizi, has received official court documents confirming that four of their detained members will be brought to court on the 14th of this month. These comrades—Eddy Mutwe, Gaddafi, A. Kivumbi, and Wakabi Smart—are currently being held at Masaka Prison. The upcoming court session will focus on the hearing of their bail application, which gives a new sense of hope to many who believe in justice and human rights.
These four individuals have been behind bars under what many describe as politically motivated charges, and their continued detention has raised serious concerns both within Uganda and internationally. For months, supporters and human rights activists have called for their release, stating that the charges are simply a way to silence those who speak out against injustice and poor governance. Now, the legal team is prepared to present a strong case in court and push for their immediate release.
The National Unity Platform, led by Hon. Robert Kyagulanyi (Bobi Wine), has remained firm in standing with the detained comrades. The party continues to call on all Ugandans and international partners to condemn political persecution and support the struggle for a fair and democratic Uganda. As the date approaches, there is growing public interest in the outcome of the bail hearing. Supporters are hopeful that the court will act independently and grant the comrades their freedom.
In the face of all challenges, NUP’s message remains clear: they will not stop fighting for freedom, justice, and the rights of all Ugandans. The bail hearing on the 14th is more than just a legal event—it is a test of justice and a symbol of resistance against oppression. The eyes of the nation, and indeed the world, will be watching closely.
