Remember Edward Awebwa, the then 24-year-old arrested, and later convicted for “abusing” Museveni, his wife, & son? We’ve made contact with him at Olia Farm Prison in Adjumani where he is serving his six-year sentence.
Sadly, almost a year in jail, this was the very first time he received any visitor and he couldn't believe it that some unknown strangers paid him a visit. As for his humble family, they were shut out since @UgandaPrisons decided to send Edward to a very distant facility given they can't afford the transport from Mukono to Adjumani and all the logistical needs such visit entails.
While he looks healthy, and has since become acclimatised to the facility several districts away from his home, he is ready to appeal the conviction. In the coming days, the team @AgoraCFR will work with partners towards this.
We believe in the freedom of expression, and it is a shame that youthful Ugandans are sent to such long-term jail sentences while the tweets of Museveni’s son; as inflammatory and illegal as most of them may be, are simply explained away as “jokes”.
Yes, it is Stellah Maris Amabilis, the Entebbe Chief Magistrate who sentenced her for that long.
