Activities done by the Chapter
In addition to our first and most successful 2021 Elections Fundraising on 30 August 2020, the Chapter:
Organised protests at the UK Africa Trade Summit in North Greenwich, which was attended by Dictator General Museveni and at the Sheraton Hotel and at the Uganda – UK Trade and Investment Convention, opposing visits to the Convention by corrupt government ministers.
Over the course of the years, members also successfully organised demonstrations at the Uganda High Commission and Whitehall. Protests were held to highlight incidents of increased political suppression, corruption, land evictions, unlawful arrest and detention of opposition leaders and activists, and an end to the use of the so called ‘safe houses’ and torture. Other areas the team campaigned on included an end to intimidation, restrictions of the media, attack on journalists and violations of human rights, threat and harassment of oppostion leaders and diaspora activists.
Members also presented petition to the UK government and called on the British government to ensure that UK oil companies operating and investing in Uganda must conducts their affairs in transparent ways and be subjected to UK regulations and standards of operations
