Byanyima scoffs at Uganda prisons for blocking visitors

Winnie Byanyima, the wife of the detained Ugandan veteran Opposition politician, Dr Kizza Besigye, has scoffed at Uganda Prisons for issuing a circular prohibiting people from visiting inmates from December 25 2024 to 3rd January 2025. Byanyima, who is also the UNAIDS executive director, was speaking to journalists at her family home in Kasangati, Wakiso District. She also expressed doubt about the directive for visitors to leave food for the inmates at the gate. However, Uganda's Prisons Spokesperson Frank Baine said this is not the first time prison authorities have imposed a standby class one alert during festive seasons, which are always riddled with high criminality incidents.

Winnie Byanyima's criticism of Uganda's prisons blocking visitors highlights the oppressive tactics used by the government to silence dissent and deny basic rights to inmates. This violation of fundamental freedoms fosters secrecy and abuse, with prisoners denied support from human rights groups or family members.
Byanyima warns that citizens will only wake up from their indifference when repression escalates to a crisis, akin to what occurred in Syria.
The current silence may lead to a devastating future if transparency, accountability, and the protection of human rights are not urgently addressed. Immediate action is needed to prevent a looming tragedy...
