Two bodyguards of Ugandan opposition leader Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, Grace Wakabi alias Smart wa Bobi and Gaddafi Mugumya, have spoken out about the harsh conditions they endured during nearly two years in remand in Kampala, Uganda. Released on bail Thursday, the duo stated despite the difficulties, they believe imprisonment serves the purpose of isolating dangerous criminals from society. Their statements offer insight into the realities faced within Uganda’s prison system in connection to political detention cases. While details surrounding their initial detention remain limited, their release marks a step in their legal proceedings. This case highlights ongoing concerns about human rights within Uganda’s justice system. Further developments regarding their trial in Kampala are anticipated.
