📢 The 11 environmental defenders in Uganda have been granted a cash bail after nearly 3 months in prison The students were unlawfully detained for opposing KCB Bank's support for the destructive #EACOP project Congratulations to our colleagues @ygcug.bsky.social who never gave up on them 👏

Great news❗ EU Ombudsman opens inquiry after NGOs’ complaint on the Omnibus deregulation package. It’s great to see some pushback against the Commission’s undemocratic cuts to human rights and environmental protection.

⚠️ 9 more students arrested in Kampala 🇺🇬 They were protesting for the release of 11 youth activists who are in custody for opposing the KCB Bank's support for the destructive #EACOP project. Stop the oppression, #StopEACOP @stopeacop.bsky.social

Great news! Eron Kiiza has been released on bail by the Ugandan High Court. But this isn’t enough - all charges against him must be dropped. We condemn his arrest, which was a clear violation of his fundamental rights. www.ntv.co.ug/ug/news/nati...
