This is what creeping censorship looks like. Article 29 protects the press because the public has a right to know.

The harm judicial officers (@JudiciaryUG) are inflicting on Ugandans is plain, colossal and fatal. Even the blind can see it.
When courts make it a habit to disregard the letter and spirit of plain constitutional provisions on bail as well as established precedents, they destroy the credibility of the legal system. It's difficult for the Magistrates to appreciate the harm they are doing to the legal system but they will find out long term.

The regime has dropped all pretense of a fair trial. In a desperate and calculated move to completely dismantle the legal defense of Dr. Kizza Besigye and Hajji Obeid Lutale, the state has launched an outright assault on the rule of law.
In a terrifying and calculated shift of events designed to completely dismantle their legal defense, the state has resorted to outright tyranny.
Counsel Erias Lukwago, one of our lead lawyers, was violently abducted by state operatives. In a familiar playbook, he now faces fabricated and politically motivated treason-related charges.
To ensure that our leaders are completely isolated from robust legal representation, the state has denied entry to our international lead counsel, Senior Counsel Martha Karua, at Entebbe International Airport. By blocking an international jurist the regime has signaled its absolute contempt for international legal standards and regional protocols.
We call upon all freedom-loving Ugandans, the Uganda Law Society, and the international community to stand up against this blatant tyranny. A regime that fights lawyers has already lost the moral argument.
