Leading comrades from the Communist League of Uganda were kidnapped by Ugandan state thugs yesterday following the League's recent national Congress.
Repression is worsening across the continent in the face of rising class tensions, driven largely by the rising cost of oil due to the US/Israeli war on Iran.
We express solidarity with all communists in Uganda and call for international pressure for the release of all political prisoners, and an end to the state harassment of socialists and communist organisers.
Repression cannot stop the tide of history! Long live the working class! ⚒️🚩

security forces have reportedly arrested leaders of the recently
established Communist League of Uganda (CLU), only days after the
organisation held its first national congress.
Booker Ngesa Omole, general secretary of the Communist Party Marxist-Kenya (CPM-K), reported on Saturday that leaders of the CLU had been arrested by the Western-backed regime of President Yoweri Museveni. A video posted with his statement shows several Ugandans handcuffed inside a security vehicle.
At the time of writing, the precise number and identities of those detained, the location of their detention and any charges brought against them have not been confirmed.
The arrests, if confirmed, constitute a serious attack on fundamental democratic rights. Workers, youth and defenders of democratic rights internationally must oppose the persecution of political organisations by the Ugandan state and demand the immediate disclosure of the whereabouts and legal status of all those detained.
