Bobi Wine Praises Nubian Li For Leadership Role In Prison

Bobi Wine has praised Nubian Li for taking on the role of counselor in Kitalya prison where he has been since December 20.

The Fire Base vice president is reportedly counseling fellow inmates, some that have totally lost all hope of ever getting out or finding justice.

The news has particularly impressed the NUP principal, Bobi Wine who has written to him asking him to remain strong and keep leading his colleagues. According to him, they knew very well the risks and challenges that lay ahead of them when they embarked on the journey and therefore should remain strong for the sake of everyone.

“Rasta, as Mandela told us, “There is no easy walk to freedom anywhere, and many of us will have to pass through the valley of the shadow of death again and again before we reach the mountaintop of our desires.” You are having your share of the shadow of death for simply being my brother and believing that Uganda deserves better. I thank you for remaining strong for the rest of the team. Our comrades who have come out of prison have told me that you have taken leadership of hundreds of our comrades at Kitalya, and done so with grace. They have told me that you are now a counsellor – some comrades come to you at the verge of despair and you encourage them to remain strong and hopeful in the face of impunity, injustice and uncertainty. I am strengthened by the fact that when we took this path, we fully understood the risks and challenges that lay ahead. May you continue being strong for the sake of everybody. Here on the outside, we are doing everything within our power to secure your release, but the dictator is also doing everything within his power to keep you under illegal detention. But like we always said, the forces of evil may appear very fearsome, but they never win in the end! Hang in there bro”, Bobi Wine open letter to Nubian Li.

Nubian Li, Eddie Mutwe and 34 others had asked the army court to grant them bail but were denied on claims they would initiate riots despite telling the General Court Martial that they were not healthy and needed medical attention.
