a humanitarian corridor is proposed by russia, allowing civilians to escape ukraine, and they would give ukrainians in the capital and several key cities safe passage from constant bombardment. but the roots mostly lead to russia or to its ally, bella bruce, ukraine has called the proposal completely immoral. but some progress was made on the issue of corridors at the 3rd round of talks umbrella, bruce se ukrainian advisers say that there was some movement on logistics and the talks would continue. but russia's chief negotiator said his country's expectations were not fulfilled. her keith, which is close to the border with russia, has been devastated by russian air power forcing many of its residents to flee. it's ukraine's 2nd largest city with a population of about 1400000, many of whom have been left in shock at the scale of the damage. cha, stratford has more now from hockey scenes of utter devastation here in the center

even private individuals who put on civilian attire, pocket to torture. how much space is there in uganda for critics of the government to be able to speak out? that is what we'll be looking at with the help of cleanser and stella quinn's welcome to the stream. please introduce yourself to global audience. tell them who you are and what you do. thank you. thank you so much for me. i am with asia because i know for this that the list and wanted to see if there's any new vendor right now. but being. ready hosted by someone you have to have a hail the stream, stella, nice to see you. i know you're keeping kinds of company because what he experienced, you know or too well, please introduce yourself to global audience. right? hi, send me. my name is still on young. the i'm delighted to be on the stream. i'm

a woman, a mother, an exiled member of the rights in a row program and germany. i'm also a poet. and then i'm and opposition member who opposes the dictator. your regime of your where he was 70 and i'm a crust woman who speaks my mind really looking forward to hearing more from you in just a moment. but 1st, let me tell you if you're watching on youtube, you could be part of this discussion as well. what do you want to ask acquaintance or what you want to talk to stellar about comment section is right here. join our discussion to quincy. a couple of weeks ago, i was looking forward to helping you on the stream and then that stop because you hadn't got out of harm's way quite yet for our audience who may not be familiar with your story. so that's anyone who's outside of uganda, perhaps. what happened? why did you have to run away from your own country?

i written a thread in the country. i wanted to leave the grand government, the stamps have been using the magistrate using his bank to tell me they were making glazed very hard for me. of telling me they refused me from getting medical attention. they wanted from abroad. they wanted me to attend the same truck come hospital or i never wanted. they had worked in my own medical facilities of my choice abroad. so they were saying no, and for my life i wanted to, you know, i want to live. so i decided to, you know, leave the country and get into quotation abroad they wanted. i'm just looking here, q q bow balak, who sent us thought on twitter. so i'm just going to show it to you there. let me

put this to you by says there is as much freedom of speech as you may need. the problem is freedom off this speech. thoughts that up. what can you say? don't say in uganda and get away with i want to say that for those who praised ver reshape those who are silent about the failures of the violations of the exercise of dictator. yours was 70. the praise singers are free to sing the appraise. but for those of us were critical, both of us who condemn those of us who are yours to silence ourselves in the face of injustice since those of us who cried for freedom and liberty, there is no freedom of speech in uganda. and i think the children were 70 has created of by side of freedom of expression for those who will told the light of respectability and diplomacy and will hail his regime. however,

with those of us who undress him with our wides under speeches, those of us who show the limits that he has put your gun and to those of us who high light up to light that you gotten us have to endure, are silenced. we are not only silenced, we are also paralyzed and criminalized and pathologist. in my case, i was called mentally sick simply because i dared to speak consistently and persistently in all ways possible against you or you must have been his dictatorship. and so to respond to that comment, i think there's freedom of speech for those who praise a fail. the dictator ross quoterush reprice the punitive dictator. there is no freedom of speech for those of us who are critical and yet, but times in uganda demand that we continue to critique this dictator who is murderous coins up. some of what you've been

charged with doing is the use of the language and also the people that you criticize. so it was the president and the president fun to go away. he says, do you believe that being vulgar is the way to obtain freedom? i wouldn't pack that word foger and what you actually said that made you ending. i ended up having to leave your country. right. i'm still, i'm just going to say that we have young children watching as well. so do you use if you're going to use what's use the medical right, as you some medical terms and everything, look them up with that be fine. yeah, go ahead. what, what is the vulgarity that you may have on twitter was talking about when i use victory to describe my mentors, to describe their character, to describe their impunity doesn't mean that they are fancy. boy, i am

a very good. no. we must learn how to use english one. if someone is a fool, must them that they are for the best we must enter them. but why should we hide? why should we? why should we be good in the name of got a piece when the most important thing. we'll talk about the grant abuse as a moderate often people describe the pen as being the sword. when i look at your writing, particularly when you're using twitter, i can see i can see the stops that you're using here. so on here, we've got a post that you posted on march. the 2nd, the stephanie and his sons gargantuan appetite for human flesh and blood is incompatible to a means india mean has been pulverized and rendered a student then professors of flagrant a piece of human rights. when you write this,

do you know, provoke the provocation that you're going to make, do you fact to that, into what it is you're going to say and how you say it? do you have fear? i do not have fear because was the war the way they arrested me. it didn't go errors they to commit to. i met at that a detention. they beat me up. they mutated to me. they big place from my side, if, if they're not cannibals, what were they going to do in the flesh? they are my, my site. they eat the flesh. why do they do with the french? you know, why did they do without flesh they pick from my size? if they are not county board, if they pick race for my phase, i should take it with him to know. i have to tell them that they are. can you boy, you know, i have to tell them they cannot cook,

they cannot cook me, right? the lift and into and when i blow out of us, they start seeing that no, that is not acceptable. when you look back, when we're looking at these pictures, now when you look at them, now what it's good for your head. i'm looking at it. it's hard to think that as a writer, this is a punishment you should get for writing. it's hard for me, but if you that your body, those in your scotts, the whole out should be asking what kind of person can do that testing, you know, human being and that is mostly on who did so it's kind of us one is that in this john arrow into fast injury. we still have people who have like a high in hungry in those cunning boys and their teaming up to need to be countered to become president. ready so i'm just,

i'm just thinking back to something that the minister of information said stella about quinn's is case. and this is what he said. just a little while ago when quincy said and quincy lawyer said, this is, i've been tortured. and this was the midst of information's response. this have a listen. this mother is being this, get to my government within the for to do this. that was but it was true, william would say that the people who are deemed a new vendor. if you look through it, as it is off of peach in your vanda, it is no tre denial. and we saw the scholars. how did those scores happen? that go ahead. right, so i want to call what quinn the see. indeed these barry and who honey bones, they eat our lunch in my cats. i was detained of the prisoner at 20 women

security, a maximum security prison. my baby was tortured out of my womb and read one through my lawyer. i presented this case before um the gun human rights commission before the law of. 2 grid magistrate, as well as before, the high court, it is on the record. there you go under prison services, medical services are aware that my fetus was taught at out of my body by prov, regime prison war dressers. right? so when the minister of information, who we know is a psycho fund of your room was 70, is a member of your room. a 7 is national resistance, movement party delays. blatant denial of the you're the us. we know that the government does not work for the people. as i began, i said that there is favor and promotion and blessing of the regime for those who

praise it, such as that liar of a minister. right. however, for those of us who are critical and speak about the polite and the oppression of ugandans, there is punishment. there is criminalization. and i think from me, part of the service to state of uganda is that those who are mandated by a constitution and paid by our taxes every month, they receive a salary to enforce and implement the laws of yoga and the police, the security agency, the military and a number of paramilitary outfits who are using your gun and public funds. those are the very same people who are brutalizing torturing and even murdering your guidance . and i think following from coins as case, he is a remind dead suspect. following from my case, i was as suspect that was reminded in the detention facility. the police,

the military, the security cannot be the judges. they cannot be the courts or condemning that is in and punishing us before we are found guilty. but if and when a criminal has been found, can guilty and convicted prisons detention facilities are supposed to be spaces of self cost. would you? uganda has made it dangerous for any political prisoner currently beyond the writers who are disciplined traits as such as myself are a number of opposition. politicians, individuals and citizens as well who are none practice. i'd refuse to tow the n. r . m late and refuse to yield. their free will to dictate on was 70 this people to our portrait in detention facilities. and so when i minister was under record to deny his blatant lawyer and we must call him out for his leis, but he has to lie to ensure that his belly is red. his belly is, let me,

let me just bring in a human rights watch who are talking about the ways in which you are able to vocalize your criticism. and that potentially could be dangerous for you kinda have a listen to this and then respond immediately of the back of the video place. i mean crim of expression in uganda has been restricted for a long time now. but i think what's it different now with the internet is that people are able to criticize the government easily. and i think real story to recognize that and which is why we have crimes like offensive communication, which is so vaguely defined that people can be prosecuted hor, cracking. jones or posting means, or tweeting as we're seeing with the case of windsor care of us, ada a brand name is doug stella and i refuse. ready to be co opted and we are paying for that in

opposition. politicians are vivian and they are called to that. they're both. they are ma, with a field with cassava or would and it ends from there. but there are and i refused to be co opted and were forced out of my country. so i really do not understand how i can be criticized enough men and they call them it got their ball and a june them happy and i stop criticizing them. some of us who criticize the government in general, we need to, we do not criticize it because we are desperate or we are hungry or we are looking for what i was watching just recently an interview with peasant, the 70 and the century was with the voice of america network and peasant 70 was very candid about their being torture in uganda. but this is how he explained it.

have a listen, have a look. and then kick wins because your wounds are still killing. again, i would love you to respond to what you're present said earlier. it's true the shower of the people who judge it better, the criminal all africa is confessed to been d. b, i miss and security forces. these come sometimes they come with traditional ideas from the village. oh, they get important ideas for over the phone with her owners. this is him for that are my surgeon,

that his is are being in power for 5 to 6 years. guns will bring him his barbarism on coronaries. it is really shameful, very, very simple. and he has used our butcher years used or everything weird to consolidate the hour was up to 6 years on his bill or pressing us, gunners don't expect us. where he's really shim before, and i really pity him. select you were rolling your eyes or face palming during the president, explaining very carefully why they was torture in uganda. i've it came from the village. oh, it came from colonialists. and your response is what you were in the 70 orders. the military you're wearing was 70 compromises the judiciary with orders about how the laws bud loves, such as the computer misuse act,

to which the a comrade from human rights watch refined to to normalize violence. and torture in uganda. and so we shall not blame colonial or traditional or either. so says before we name your wearing was 70 more who has the kindness gobber? janet katara ha and our wall, but tarley, you're not kado who lick there, or we're on children's t t v. i mean it's, they're all ages watching. but people who, who, who will listen to this or does an act upon them because they're sticking favor from the president. many others are sicking survivors from the president. and so we have what we call order from a bowels. and you can be sure that i put investigation every order from the above, from above in the security services in the police. even among paramilitaries, pseudo security out bits in uganda, originates from either you or him, a 70,

his wife, genet, katara or his son was. and so before you were in was 70 a really gets the blame to call on your and for rain and traditional ours i've been use. i think we'd name him. i name was 7. the father of lies the father of mother and twitter. the father of barbarian stella and every sort of mud uganda fest and am they, they enjoy it. will you ever planning to go back to canada and any time soon? because i'm sure you got an authorities are watching the show what you okay. that is my homeland yak under belongs to all of us. your in the 70 and his family have made you run the dangerous. okay. one day or im 70 is going to be out of uganda. my parents bones lie in uganda in the brown soil of the athlete master card district. i will be buried with my grandson as i will be buried in my father's land. but i want my children to be alive when the liberation of the freedom that comes to

i interrupt temporary tanf in full force. the only reason i'm doing it is for you, you chief and so that you can ask questions. stella, to excuse me. i love to hear your pros. okay. on youtube. right now i have so many questions. i'm going to ask you to them as quickly as you can. so we can get to as many thoughts as we can. francis says question quite quickly. this is for you. it's a possibility that you canden human rights commission will ever wake up and take charge of enforcing human rights in uganda. brief fonts a please. when i was in prison, the human race commission, the kim 5, i look forward to the lit kim and the reason i underdressed today. so whatever they did to me, but because my mutilated body, i was surprised that when they went out there they did, they got my daughter and imagine thinking that i was i digitally put her.
