The opposition leader did not disclose where the two women were allegedly seized or provide details of the circumstances surrounding the reported abductions.
Ugandan opposition leader Robert Kyagulanyi, popularly known as Bobi Wine, has alleged that the country's military abducted two prominent civil society leaders and lawyers on Sunday, describing the incident as the latest in what he called an escalating campaign of political repression under President Yoweri Museveni's government.
In a statement shared on his X account, Bobi Wine identified the two women as Dr. Sarah Bireete, Executive Director of the Centre for Constitutional Governance (CCGEA), and Eunice Musiime, Executive Director of the Alliance for Women's Advancement (AMWA Afrika).
"Two leading civil society leaders and distinguished lawyers, Dr. Sarah Bireete E.D @ccgea1 and Eunice Musiime E.D @amwaafrika are the latest victims of the ongoing criminality. They have been abducted by the military and driven off to an unknown destination," Bobi Wine wrote.
"These are definitely tough times, but the TOUGH PEOPLE OF UGANDA will outlive them. Uganda will be free!" he added.
