In a familiar display of lawlessness under the NRM government and President Museveni, police and military forces yesterday descended on the home of Dr. Sarah Bireete, surrounding the residence before arresting her. The dramatic operation immediately sparked public outrage and concern.
The Uganda Police Force later confirmed the arrest, but shockingly admitted that despite holding Dr. Bireete in custody, they were unable to specify the crime she is alleged to have committed. The announcement left many Ugandans stunned and questioning the motive behind the arrest.
Speaking to the press shortly afterward, Kampala Metropolitan Police spokesperson Rachel Kawala acknowledged that Dr. Bireete had indeed been arrested, but stated that authorities were still “establishing” the offenses—an explanation that only deepened public skepticism.
This commentary examines the statements that may have triggered the security crackdown. Attention has turned to a recent BBC interview in which Dr. Bireete openly called out Museveni government's plan to shut down the internet during elections in order to undermine transparency. Could this bold exposure have sealed her fate? The timing has reignited fierce debate over freedom of expression and the shrinking civic space in Uganda.
