‘I will not delete my posts’: Inside Uganda’s crackdown on online critics
Al Jazeera investigates Uganda's crackdown on online critics, documenting allegations of abductions, beatings and intimidation against social media users who criticize President Yoweri Museveni and his son, military chief Muhoozi Kainerugaba. Detainee Praise Aloikin Opoloje, held since September 26, 2026 on a SIM-card charge, claims she was abducted and threatened, while father Emmanuel Baliza says armed men took his 17-year-old son William and he still does not know where he is held. Army spokesperson Colonel Chris Magezi denies unlawful disappearances, saying security agencies act within the law.
