I used my Uganda flag wrapper as shield, says March to Parliament protestor Nana

Nana Mwafrika, a human rights defender, has been fighting for the rights of others since her school days. Even when everyone else remained silent, Nana would speak out about injustices around her.

On July 25, police on Parliament Avenue arrested Nana and two other male activists as they attempted to march to Parliament in an anti-corruption protest.

Despite warnings that the protests would be met with an iron fist by security agencies, Nana still joined the protest.

“I saw [minister for constitutional affairs] Norbert Mao’s tweet suggesting that the protest was flopping. I said our children, the Gen Z, needed parents and siblings. This fired up my resolve to participate in the protest,” Nana says.
