Ugandan Police Arrest Human Rights Activist Sarah Bireete Ahead of January 2026 Elections Ugandan authorities have arrested prominent human rights activist Sarah Bireete, director of the Centre for Constitutional Governance (CCG), amid a widening crackdown on dissent ahead of the January 15 general election. The police confirmed her detention but did not disclose the charges or court date. Bireete, a vocal critic of government actions including alleged illegal detentions and torture of opposition supporters, joins over 550 individuals arrested since early 2025. The upcoming election pits long-time President Yoweri Museveni against opposition figure Bobi Wine, with international observers expressing concern over human rights violations, media censorship, and political repression. #SarahBireete #UgandaElections #HumanRights #PoliticalRepression #BobiWine #Museveni #UgandaNews #FreedomOfExpression
