The overall conduct of the electoral process was marred with flaws and there must be accountability for stifling democratic processes.
There are consequences for interfering in the democratic process. Starting today, we are imposing visa restrictions on those involved in undermining democracy in Uganda.

All the actions by Mr. Museveni’s regime go against the spirit of the East African Community Treaty, the principles of the African Union as well as the provisions of the 2007 AU Charter on democracy, elections and governance: archive.ipu.org/idd-E/afr_ch…. #IStandUp4Uganda

...unwarranted restrictions imposed caused major disruptions to Ugandan and Ugandan business which rely on uninterrupted access to the internet services. The actions of Mr. Museveni’s regime are a flagrant violation of Ugandans and should not stand unchallenged. #IStandUp4Uganda

There's been a pattern in Africa where human rights violations are committed, no one is held to account for the crimes. Apart from 2007 situation in Kenya where there was a commission of inquiry. We are keen that the situation in Uganda is building towards that. #IStandUp4Uganda
