Bobi Wine’s statement before he was remanded to Luzira Prison “Your honour thank you for this opportunity. I’m confident because indeed it’s not me on trial; it’s the court itself on trial.
I have not committed any crime. I’m only here because I disagree with the political leadership of this country and in particular President Museveni.
My spirit is confident because I’m here not because I have stolen public funds or killed somebody. I’m glad that I’m here because I’m fighting for them, you (magistrate) and everybody in this country.
I’m here for protesting against unfair taxation and against injustice. So if I’m to go through this oppression and pain for the betterment of my country so be it”
