According to Lulume Bayiga, the Executive Chairperson of the People’s Front for Freedom (PFF) party, since November 2020, and continuing throughout the 2026 electoral cycle, the JDP has recorded an ongoing pattern of state-linked abductions where some security agents in plain clothes or military attire, driving unmarked minibuses, have seized opposition supporters, campaign organizers, polling agents, and civic activists from streets and homes.
The ULS demanded the immediate and unconditional release of Advocate Lukwago within 24 hours, full disclosure of his whereabouts and condition, and a public commitment that lawyers will not be targeted for carrying out their professional duties.
