WHO SHOULD TRANSPORT VICTIMS OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING BACK TO THEIR COUNTRIES ?.



 

Fred was grabbed while loitering on the street in "outside countries" and kept in a room with 30 other people ready to have his organs removed. The police managed to save the situation the day he was due to be cut up. After assisting with the investigations, all he wanted to do was go back to Uganda and live his life. However, Fred is broke, and his family back home are also too poor to assist with the travel arrangements. Is he destined to remain there?

 

WHAT DOES THE LAW SAY?


Luckily for Fred and his family, they do not have to worry about selling their only plot or getting a loan for his return. 


The law says that the minister of internal affairs, together with other relevant government agencies, must facilitate the return of victims of human trafficking like Fred. 


Fred's family should get in touch with the Ministry of Internal affairs to arrange for the return of Fred at no cost to them. Suppose a situation arises where Fred's return to Ugandan endangers him. In that case, the minister may negotiate with the country where Fred is (the host government) to extend his stay for his protection.


If you are in Uganda and you suspect that you or anyone you know has been trafficked, please contact any of these numbers and you will be given help. +256800199699 / +256709010853

We Bring You Brief Series of Sanctions Against Uganda Government Officials.

Again on this 4-December-2023, the same USA has slapped sanctions against Uganda Prisons Commander Johnson Byabashaija over alleged torture and human rights abuses in Prisons across Uganda.

UGANDA ELECTORAL COMMISSION TO ELIMINATE NATIONAL IDENTIFICATION CARDS (IDs) FOR 2021 GENERAL ELECTIONS.

The elimination of using National IDs (Ndagamuntu) for the 2021 elections should not have come as a surprise. One would be very NAIVE to think that Bobi Wine has not prepared for this in his Business Plan under the RISK section. It is public knowledge that our EC is not independent.  It is also public knowledge that Military Dictator Yoweri Museveni will never lose an election. What stunned us this morning is when we noticed that on social media, people were mocking Bobi with his "get your Ndagamuntu".  We are on record for saying to all Our readers that the National ID is like Apartheid in South Africa. Students of History would know how those IDs were being used to arrest people, deny them jobs, deny them basic services. Consequently, Bobi was not wrong and will never be wrong on the Ndagamuntu. Except the ones attacking him and mocking him forget that in Uganda, now, no National ID (Ndagamuntu), no service.  If you have not been denied registering your child i...
