11:35 am
a mother, an exiled member of the rights in a row program. append germany. i'm also a poet and then i'm and the opposition member who opposes the dictator. your regime of your ma 70. and i'm across the woman who speaks my mind really looking forward to hearing more from you in just a minute. 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 aquiner? what you want to talk to stellar about comment section is right here. join our discussion quinn to a couple of weeks ago. i was looking for the hosting you on the stream and then that stopped 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? so i read in a thread of
11:36 am
a country on i wanted to leave. government stamps have been using. ready the magistrate using his bank card to tell me that they were making glaze 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. so 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, be the country and get medical attention and abroad they wanted. i'm just looking here gilbert, keep our palate who sent us this thought on twitter. so i'm just gonna show it to
11:37 am
you, stella. let me put this to you. cuba says, there is as much freedom of speech as you may need. the problem is freedom off to speech. thought stella. what can you say, right? you not say in uganda and get away with. i want to say that for those who praised her receive those who are silent about the failures of the violations of the exercise of dictator. yours was 70. the praise seemed as a 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 injustice since both of us who cry for freedom and liberty. there is no freedom of speech in uganda. and i think the children were 70 has created off by side of freedom of expression for those who will told the light of respectability and diplomacy and will hail his regime. however,
11:38 am
with those of us who undress him with our wides under speeches, both of us who show the limits that he has put you guns to those of us who hi, late, that light that you've 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 he must have been his dictatorship . and so to respond to that comment, i think there is freedom of speech for those who praise a fail dictator. press touch, iris reprice, if 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 mother us. coins that at some of what you've been
11:39 am
charged with doing is the use of the language and also the people that you criticize. so it was the president and the president's son a took away. 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 just you use if you're going to use was used the medical terms. alright. and 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 permit us to describe their character, to describe their impunity doesn't mean that they um, are fancy. boy,
11:40 am
i am. oh god. okay, no, we must learn how to use english one. if someone is a fool, we must dated them or they are full as if they are or best who much better than what they are best. why should we hide? why should we know? why should we be good in the name of god? it is when the most important things would talk about the flow 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 he sounds called gun to an appetite for human flesh and blood is incompatible to means idiom mean has been pulverized and rendered a student then professors, a flagrant a piece of human rights. when you write this,
11:41 am
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 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 mutated to me. they pick fresh from my fight if, if i can the boys. what were they. ready going to do in the flesh they pick for my my site. did they do to the flish? why do they do with the french? you know, why did they do with, are they 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,
11:42 am
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 know cancer, 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 scotts, the whole world shouldn't be asking what kind of bus one can do, such a thing, you know, human being. and that is a moral savannah's son who did so it's kind of us when he's back in this agenda ero interfere spencer. we still have people who be able to make high and i was hungry. i am, i was gunning boy. and they are teaming up to the discounted to become president. ready so i'm just,
11:43 am
i'm just thinking back to something that the minister of information set stella about quinn's as caisen. this is what he said just a little while ago when kick went to said and quinn's his lawyer said, this is i, i've been taught yet. and this was the mischief information's responses have a lesson this mother has been visited by a government with in the to the circles. but you know, to william would say that the people who are detained a new vendor project. if you look through to see that it is or freedom of speech in the order, it is not true denial. and we saw the scholars. how did i scans happen, stella? go ahead. all right, so i want to occur. what quinn's a said indeed these but barry ends who are cannibals, bay eat our flesh in my curse. i was detained as a prisoner,
11:44 am
it was 0 women's security, a maximum security prison. my baby was tortured out of my womb in prison. so my lawyer, i presented this case before um the government rates commission before the law of 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. 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
11:45 am
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 our 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 the number of paramilitary outfits who are using uganda and public funds. those are the very same people who are brutalizing torturing and even murdering your guidance and ethic following from cochran's as case. he is a remind dead suspect. following from my case, i was as suspect that was reminded in the detention facility. but police,
11:46 am
the military, the security cannot be the judges. they cannot be the courts or are condemning that is in an alicia gus before we are found guilty. but even when a criminal has been found, con guilty and convicted prisons detention facilities are supposed to be spaces of safe 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 parties, 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
11:47 am
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 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 crim of expression in uganda has been stupid 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. like because of frequency raquira procedure a brand new music is still armed. i refused. ready to be co opted and we are paying for that was didn't
11:48 am
opposition politicians in sin and they are called to that their book, their mouth i feel to with cassava or would. and it ends from there. but i refused to be cooperated and were forced out of the country. so i really do not understand how i can the great to say that enough men and they call them it got their boy and a june them happy, and i still great, disabling them. some of us who criticized the government agenda. we need a, we do not criticize it because we are desperate or we are hungry or we are looking or what not. i was watching just recently an interview with peasant, with 70 and the century was with the voice of america network. and present 70 was very candid about their being torture in uganda. but this is how he explained it.
11:49 am
have a listen, have a look. and then kick wins because your wounds are still healing. again, i would love you to respond to what you're present said earlier. it's true, the shower of the people did better. the problem all africa is confessed to mandy. when do i miss and security forces? this comes sometimes they come with traditional ideas from the village. oh, they get important ideas for on with the families. this is him for the that are master limits. his is are being in bar force out to 6
11:50 am
years guns. you bring him his barbarism on coronaries. these are edition or very her to him or. and he has used our torture unit or everything weird to consolidate. love our was up to 6 years on his bill or pressing last you gun amazon to expect us you where these really share before and i really pity him. select you were rolling your eyes or face palming during the president explaining very carefully white i was torture in uganda. i have it came from the village. oh, it came from colonialists and your response is what you're were in was 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,
11:51 am
to which the a comrade from human rights were to refine, to, to normalize violence and torture in uganda. and so we shall not blame colonial or tradition or either. so says before we name, you're wearing the 70 more who is the kind yoga? 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 listen to this or does an act upon them because they're seeking favor from the president. many others are sicking survival from the president. and so we have what we call order from about and you can be sure that a party investigation every order from the bus, from above in the security services in the police, even among paramilitary, pseudo security outfits in uganda, originates from either you or him,
11:52 am
a 70 his wife, janet katara, or his son horsey. and so before you were in was 70 a 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 surely gannon 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 you gander 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
