National Unity Platform (NUP) Party President Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu has described the late Anthony Wameli as person who dedicated his life to fighting for the rights of Ugandans.


Kyagulanyi said this yesterday at the burial of lawyer Anthony Wameli in Bukhaweka town council in Namisindwa District.

Kyagulanyi said the late Wameli represented several NUP supporters and many Ugandans who were arrested and allegedly tortured for opposing the ruling government during and after the general elections of 2021.

John Baptist Nambeshe the NUP Vice President for Eastern Uganda said they will continue demanding for the release of their supporters arrested during and after the general elections.

Wameli was the head of the legal team of the National Unity Platform and contested for the Namisindwa County Parliamentary position losing to the eventual winner, Apollo Masika. He died in the United States of America after battling colon cancer.
