In my report, I found that climate activist Barigye Bob had been arrested and psychologically tortured for opposing the EACOP project.
He told me that authorities labeled activists like him as “attention seekers” while quietly silencing their efforts.
Despite the repression, Barigye remains resolute in his fight for Uganda’s environment and climate justice.

I reported that climate activists Bob Barigye, Mutesi Zarika, Naruwada Shamim and Nalusiba Phionah were violently arrested in Kampala for peacefully protesting the EACOP pipeline.
The #StopEACOP coalition described the arrests as “unjust” and a deliberate attempt to silence dissent against the project.
Experts and campaigners emphasized that peaceful protest is a democratic right and called on Ugandan authorities to drop all charges against the activists.
