In reaction to Kiyingi’s announcement, Mr. Museveni ordered the arrest of Aisha Nakasibante, Campaign Chair of the Aggrey Kiyingi for President 2016 Campaign. Aisha has been sexually molested and beaten savagely while in detention.
NRM government operatives arrested Aisha and her driver, Mr. Ssemwogerere on January 17th. They were in the effort of mobilizing supporters of Dr. Kiyingi. These supporters had already traversed Uganda in a pre-campaign marketing effort and had distributed more than 1.5 million campaign cards and flyers. The NRM government has branded Aisha and Ssemwogerere “terrorists” in order to detain them.
Other Kiyingi campaign workers have been arrested, molested and tortured. Some have died after being tortured. Many have been made to disappear and are believed to be held in so-called safe houses. These are unofficial detention centers. It is believed that Ssemwogerere is in such safe house at Kireka. Aisha is being held at Uganda’s main prison at Luzira.
Mr. Museveni has engaged in a consistent pattern of gross violations of internationally recognized human rights, including torture or cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment, prolonged detention without charges, causing the disappearance of persons by the abduction and clandestine detention of those persons, or other flagrant denial of the right to life, liberty, and the security of person.
The NRM government and Mr. Museveni have abused the human rights of its citizens who are perceived as its opponents. Recently, it has targeted the supporters of the freedom fighter/advocate Dr. Aggrey Kiyingi a renowned cardiologist of Ugandan origin who fled Uganda in the early 1980s. Dr. Kiyingi intends to stand for president in the upcoming elections in early 2016.

Thank you very much for having taken the step to sign the Petition for Aisha. We have some signatures but a very long way from our goal. Please consider recruiting your community and network of friends. You have no idea what this means to Aisha who is repeatedly tortured and incarcerated in the most despicably horrendous conditions you will ever imagine.

I thank you in anticipation of this undertaking and wish you the best in everything you do.
