7:35 am
a dissident. i'm an opposition member who opposes the dictator. your regime of your team of 70. and i'm across woman who speaks my minds 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 can be part of this discussion as well. what do you want to ask a coins or what you want to talk to stellar about comment section is right here. join our discussion. the quinn's a couple of weeks ago. i was looking forward to hosting 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 anyone who's outside of uganda perhaps . what happened? why did you have to run away from your own country? i ran a thread in the country on. i wanted to leave your grand government stamps. i've been using the magistrate using his
7:36 am
bank to tell me that 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 home because 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 medical attention and abroad. they want it. i'm just looking here to keep our fellow who sent us this thought on twitter. so i'm just going to show it to you there. let me put this to you. cuba says there is as much freedom of speech as you may need. the problem is freedom off the beach.
7:37 am
thought stella, what can you say? you don't say and you can't 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 yuri was 70. the praise singers are free to sing the appraise . but for those of us were critical. those of us who condemn those of us who are, if yours to silence ourselves in the face of in just give sense. both of us who crape of freedom and liberty. there is no freedom of speech in uganda. and i think that you are in the 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, for those of us who undress him with our wives or nurse speeches, both of us will show the limits that he has put you gun and to those of us who high
7:38 am
light up to late that you gotten us have to endure, are silenced. we are not on the same as 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 in his dictatorship . and so to respond to that comment, i think there's freedom of speech for those who praise a failed. the dictator ross quoterush reprice the punitive dictator. there is no freedom of speech for those of us who are critical. and yet, the times in uganda demand that we continue to critique this dictator who is murderous to coins. that at some of what you've been charged with doing is the use of the language and also the people that you
7:39 am
criticize. so it was a president and the president's son, a to me he says, do you believe that being vulgar is the way to obtain freedom? i'm. i wouldn't have pat that would foger and what you actually said that made you ending, i ended up having to leave your country. right. i am, i mean instead, i'm just going to say that we have young children watching as well. so do you just you use if you're going to use was used the medical turns right? as he's a medical times and everything to look them up on their be fine. yeah, go ahead. what, what is the vulgarity that to me here on twitter was talking about when i use literature to describe my for meant to describe their character, to describe their impunity doesn't mean that they am or fancy boy i am or, no, we must learn how to use english, what if someone is a fool,
7:40 am
we must dated them or they are full as if they are a bit too much better than what they are. why should we hide? why should we, why? why should we be good in the name of god? it is when the most important things will talk about the frog grant abuse. as of right, often people describe the pan 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 he sounds called gun to an appetite for human flesh and blood is incompatible, which means india mean has been pulverized and rendered a student. then professor is a flagrant a piece of human rights. when you write this, do you know, provoke the provocation that you're going to make, do you factor that into what it is you're going to say and how you say it?
7:41 am
do you have fear? i do know how because was the war the way they arrested me. you didn't go errors they to commit to. i met at that a detention. they beat me up. they knew that it did to me. they pick fresh from my side. if the, if i can the boys, what were they going to do in the flesh they pick for my, my site? did they do the flesh? what do they do with the french? you know, why did they do with the rest of the big from my side, they are not on the board. if they pick race from my phase, i should take it with him to know. i have to tell them that they are a new 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 saying that no, that is not acceptable when you know,
7:42 am
pick one. so 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's your body, those in your scars, the whole world shouldn't be asking what kind of person come to such a thing. human being. and that is m o z a. so it's kind of plus when is that in this agenda, arrow interfere spencer? we still have people will be able to make a higher nose hung grandma's gun, a boy and they are teaming up to the disease counter to become president. so i'm just, i'm just thinking back to something that the minister of information said stella about quins as case. and this is what he said. just a little while ago. when kirk went to said and coins, his lawyer said, this is i,
7:43 am
i've been taught yet. and this was the mischief information's response as have a lesson. this mother is being investigated by a government within this a to the circles. but you know, to william would say that the people who are detained in new vendor project. if you look through to see that, that is all freedom of speech in your grandeur, it is not tre denial, and we saw the scars. how did those scars happen, stella? go ahead. all right, so i want to occur. what quinn's a said indeed these are, but barry ends who are cannibals, bay eat our flesh in my curse. i was detained as a prisoner, it was 0 women's security, a maximum security prison. my baby was tortured out of my womb in prison. so my lawyer,
7:44 am
i presented this case before um the government rates 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 tortured out of my body by prov, regime prison war dressers. right? so when the minister of information, who we know is a sake of fund of your room was 70, is a member of your room was 7, is national resistance. movement party delays, blatant. c 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 layer of a minister. right. however, for those of us who are critical and speak about the polite and the oppression of
7:45 am
ugandans, there is punishment. there is criminalization. and i think for me, part of the source, the 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 agencies, the military and the number of paramilitary outfits who are using your guns and public funds. those are the very same people who are brutalizing torturing and even murdering your guidance and ethic following from co coins as case he is a remind dead suspect. following from my case, i was as suspect that was reminded in a detention facility. the police, the military, the security can not be the judge as they cannot be. the courts who are condemning
7:46 am
that is in an alicia gus before we are found guilty. but even when our caribbean, oh, has been found con guilty and convicted. prisons detention facilities are supposed to be spaces of self custody. uganda has made it dangerous for any political prisoner currently beyond. the writers who are dissident rates, as such as myself, are a number of opposition. politicians, individuals, and citizens as well who are none patches. i'd refuse to tow the n r. m late and refuse to yield their free will to dictate on we're 70 this people to our portrait in detention facilities. and so when i minister was under record to deny, he's a 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 full. let me, let me just bring in a human rights watch who are talking about the ways in which you are able to
7:47 am
vocalize your criticism. and that potentially could be dangerous for you could kinda have a listen to this and then respond immediately of the back of the video place. i mean, quantum of expression in uganda has been suited for a long time now. but i think what's 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 or cracking. jones or posting means, or tweeting as we're seeing with because of frequency require of us ada. a problem is that a, stella and i refused. ready to be co opted and we are paying for that. it was didn't opposition. politicians are in sin and they are called to that terrible their mouth afield with cassava or food. and it ends from there.
7:48 am
but there are and i refused to be co opted and were forced out of the country. so i really do not understand how i can agree to say that enough men and they call them it, that they're both and a june, them happy. and i spoke great to say like them. some of us who criticized the government in general. we need a, we do not criticize it because we had this, erica, we are hungry, we are looking for what not. i was watching just recently an interview with peasant, the 70. and this interview was with the voice of america network. and peasant was 70 was very candid about there 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,
7:49 am
i would love you to respond to what you're present said earlier. it's true the shower of the people who does it better, the premier room, all africa is confessed to mandy. when do i miss and security forces? these come rooms, sometimes they come with traditional ideas from the village. oh, they get important ideas for on with the families. this is him for that. are mr. limit. his is are being in bar for 36 years guns you brim his barbarism on career. this is rudy shim or very
7:50 am
heard of him or, and he has used our butcher years used are everything weird course. we're a little up our was up to 6 years on his bill or pressing last year, granted zoned expect the 1st you where these really share before. and i really pity him. ready select you were rolling your eyes or face palming during the president, explaining very carefully why there was torture in uganda. i have a came from the village or it came from colonialists. and your response is what? you're were in the 70 or does the military you're wearing was 70 compromises the judiciary with orders about how the laws bud loaves such as the computer misuse act, which the a comrade from human rights were to refine, to, to normalize violence and torture in uganda. and so we shall not blame
7:51 am
colonial or tradition or either. so says before we name, you're wearing the 70 more who has the kindness gobber? janet katara ha and our wall, but tarley, you are not kado who lick there or we are 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 seeking favor from the president. many others are sicking. so by was from the president. and so we have what we call order from about 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 paramilitary, pseudo security outfits in uganda, originates from either you or him, a 70 his wife and it's katara or his son horsey. and so before you were in was
7:52 am
70 really gets the blame to colonial and for rein. untraditional. 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 mother uganda fest. and am they they in your bed? were you ever planning to go back to canada and any time soon? because i am sure you got an authorities are watching the show. what ukiah is my homeland yog under belongs to all of us. you're in the 70 and his family have made uganda dangerous. okay. one day or him, somebody's going to be out of uganda. my parents, bonds lie in uganda in the brown soil of the acid massacre district. i will be buried with my grandfather's 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 uganda comes, i do not want to be one of the dead victims. my dad on the orders of your very was 7 and so i am a uganda. uganda belongs to all of us will claim her as citizens,
