of the government to be able to speak out. that is what we're be looking at with the help of cleanser. and stella can cleanser, welcome to the screen. please introduce yourself to our global audience. tell them who you are and what you do. thank you. thank you so much for me. i am go. gotcha. because i are more police there to place unwanted because in uganda right, no arms but being. ready hosted by someone here to have 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 our global audience. right. hi. so me, my name is still and young. i'm delighted to be on the stream. i'm a woman, a mother, an exiled member of the rights in the program of pen gemini. i'm also a poet. and then i'm an 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 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 to quinn to a couple of weeks ago. i was looking forward to 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 ran a thread of the country on i wanted to leave government stumps has been using 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. this 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 wanted i'm just looking here, gilbert. keep out malik, who sent us this thought on twitter. so i'm just going to show it to 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. death 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 excesses of dictator. yours 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 injustice since those of us who cry for freedom and liberty. there is no freedom of speech in uganda. and i think that you are in the 70 has created of by saddled freedom of expression for those who will tow the light of respectability and diplomacy and will hail his regime. however, with those of us who undress him with our wives and our speeches, both of us who show the limits that he has put you guns to. those of us who hi,

late, late that you've gotten us have to endure, are silenced. we're not only silenced, we're 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 failed dictator. press contraras reprice. if you need you 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 are at 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 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 use the medical terms or write as use of medical times and everything to look them up on that be fine yet don't go ahead. what, what is the vulgarity that to me here on twitter was talking about when i use literature to describe my mentors who describe their character to describe their impunity doesn't mean that they um, are fancy. boy, i am a broker. no. we must learn how to use english one. if someone is

a fool, we must do them or they are full as if they are best who are much better than what they are is. why should we hide? why should we, oh, why should we be good in the name of god? it is when the most important things who talk about the fragrant abuse of your moderate often people describe the painter 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 god, gun to an appetite for human flesh and blood is incompatible to means any. amine has been pulverized and rented a student. then professor is a flagrant a piece of human rights. when you write this, do you knows 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?

do you have fear? i do not have fear 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 picked fresh from my side. if the, if i can the boys, what were they going to do in the flesh they pick from my, my site? did they get to the flish? what do they do with a fresh you know, why did they do with our friends? they pick from my side, if 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. can you boys? 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 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 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 bus one is back in this agenda, arrow interfere spencer. we still have people who be able to make high and i was hungry. i am, i was gunning boys and they are teaming. ready up to the discounted to become president. ready so i'm just, i'm just thinking back to something that the minister of information said stella about quins, his case. and this is what he said. just a little while ago when kick went to said an acquaintance 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 the little to william would say that the people who are dated in new vendor project. if you look through to see that that is all freedom of speech in uganda, it is not true denial. and we saw the scholars. how did they scans happened? stella go ahead. all right, so i want to call what quinn's a said? indeed, these are, but barry ends who are cannibals, they 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,

i presented this case before um the gunner commemorates commission before the lower . 2 grid magistrate, as well as before, the high court, it is on the record, the uganda prison services medical services are aware that my fetus was touched at 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 did ais, blatant denial of the you're the u. s. 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

uganda, and there is punishment, there is criminalization. and i think from me, part of the service 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 uganda, the police, the security agencies, 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 ethic que following from quinn's 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 can not to be the judge as they cannot be the corpse or are condemning

that is it on punishing us before we are found guilty. but even when a criminal has been found, can 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 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 on the 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 food. 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. kick windsor, have listened 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 the case of windsor raquira by say to a brand name is doug stella and i refuse. ready to be co opted and we are paying for that was didn't opposition politicians with and they are called to that. they're both. they are mar with a feel to with cassava or would. and it ends from there. but i

refused to be co opted and were forced out of my country. so i really do not understand how i can quit to say that enough men and they call them it, that they're both and a june, them happy and i spoke great, disabling them. some of us who criticized the government agenda. we need a, we do not criticize it because we are desperate. we are hungry. we are looking for what i was watching, just recently an interview with peasant, with 70. and this interview was with the voice of america network. and peasant was 70 was very candid about their being torture in uganda. but this is how he explained it. have a listen. we have a look. and then kick went to because your wounds are still killing again,

i would love you to respond to what you're present, said earlier. it's true that shower of the people that tortured better the problem . all africa is confessed to mindy. mindy i'm is. and security forces. these come sometimes they come with traditional ideas from the village. oh, they get important ideas for on with the families. this is shameful that ah mister, limit his age are being in bar for 36 years. guns still brim his barbarism on coronaries is rudy sham or very heard

a sham or and he has used our butcher years used or everything weird to consolidate. love our was up to 6 years on his heel or pressing last you gun am zoned expect the 1st you where these really share before. and i really pity him. ready sell at you were rolling your eyes or face palming during the president, explaining very carefully why there was torture in uganda. i've a came from the village or 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 bad laws, such as the computer misuse act, 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 with name, you're wearing the 70 more who is the kind who 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 was. and so before you were in was

70 really gets the blame to colonial and for rein. untraditional. ours i've been used. i think we'd name him a name was 7. the father of lies the father of murder and torture, the father of barbarian stella and every sort of muddy uganda fest. and am they they in your bed? will you ever planning to go back? she can't at any time soon because i am sure he can't. and authorities are watching the show. what you guy is my homeland. yeah. gun that belongs to all of us. you're in the 70 and his family have made uganda dangerous. okay. one day or him 7, he's going to be out of uganda. my parents, bonds lie in uganda in the brown soil of the athlete 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,

as residents, as marshall not yours, it was ebony has endangered the lives of was of us will criticize his regime. i will come back to you gotta have been here at my body of the trauma. housing yield, my mind of the trauma that i was exposed to, i had been silenced as a dissident who does not been lived in the official policy of the country. however, one day i am returning to uganda to continue contribution to the liberation struggle. i ensured i left so that i could get yelling. i insure they took my children out with their safety. now that my children have a warm, i am coming back to the battle ground and i wish to continue contributing to the freedoms fight in uganda to ensure that you are im, 70 leaves, and uganda is safe. for those of us who have decided, uncle tentative again, i interrupted my tanf in full force. the only reason i'm doing it is for you, you chief so that you can ask questions. stella,

to excuse me. i love to hear your prose. ok 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 is a possibility that you canden human rights commission will ever wake up and take charge of enforcing human rights in uganda. brief on, so please when i was in prison, human rights commission, the kim 5 or do the lead on the mean? isn't i an address today? so what they did to me, but because my mutilated body, i was surprised when they went out there. they did say that my daughter, i mean margin thinking that i was i did did a photo so it actually i good. so my there was like which candle formation is got

that cannot be independent. is it because there was had, by the bid? i got so much so i cannot do it. i knew that your monterrey commission, that is why i discontinued the migrations with my roja, is enough. you will do it there by 6. they get just all right, this is when she vance. she wants to know what lessons the hope the public will take away from both of your experiences. stella would do your 1st one to spray briefly because i've got one more practical piece of advice. so i would like you to give to fellow activists in uganda, but she, france, what are the takeaways queens that made headlines for weeks in uganda? what are, what are the lessons learned that the pen as light. yeah. then the gun that those we write again to expose our most year food and we are, i don't want to quickly say, let's say you got to get one right commission and every other public institution of

appeal are compromised in uganda because we live under a dictatorship and so because they were in the 70 appoints and promotes and even suspends and expelled public officials. so you're going to have a commission that you do sorry. the legit, the job. all the of government compromise. just let them do we learn. yeah. yeah. let me learn, but freedom of expression must be protected and can be protect that even when it is dangerous. i think we need to restructure dies. how like that i talking about talking about things. i think this is really important because he's an activist young who's wondering about and this is on twitter. how could future activists avoid running into brutes cleanser this is so fresh for you. how do you avoid what happened to you? it's not possible if you want to speak out what happened to me is up today. i'm

afraid that you cannot the way it as long as we still have the addicted to in touch with our country and is also you figured that his son with the barbarism and the son is getting ready to pick up the father. you cannot avoid it because they come on to bludgeon you into lation or bliss your record. so it's not for you to i know what i need to do right now is we need to organize and we stand to that until we do god to we are, you know, and is there, oh, i would, i was worried about good crenza and stella, thank you for sharing your painful stories with us, hale, the streaming really appreciate you making time. and thank you for your comments and questions on youtube. appreciate those. i will see you on the next edition of the strange take everybody. ah

between, it did not respect poor people and your our planet promised to ensure the safety of women. what happens does the systems are pulled back, that people actually have more feel, why is the u. k, so hostile to try and make 3 all of us join me if i take on the live this man with the misconceptions and debate the contradiction, carmen get up front on al jazeera generations. this indigenous community has lived off of what the rain forest provides. when they discovered that their territory was being invaded by gold mining projects all along their river, the community brought a lawsuit against a put to us government. you've won, you want the unprecedented ruling, apply just the state to consult communities over oil and mining projects that impact their land and to seek their consent the tiny, see no way community has won
