Here, where Martin Luther King proclaimed his dream of freedom, I say:
Free Kizza Besigye! Free Uganda’s political prisoners!
You can imprison a freedom fighter. You cannot imprison the struggle for freedom.
Thank you

For 25 years, he has paid a terrible price. Repeated arrests, imprisonment, torture, persecution. But never surrender.
Today, nearly two years after his abduction from Kenya, Kizza remains in prison, denied bail, facing a treason trial.
His body is weakened. But his spirit is unbroken.
I know this man. I know his courage. I know his principles. He cannot be bought. He cannot be frightened into silence…./3
