The end of one journey is the beginning of another , at ACTV we recognise tremendous efforts by our staff in treating and rehabilitating torture victims in Uganda as well as outside her boarders. Today afternoon was one of those sad days where one of us starts another exciting journey else where . Ms.Winnie Nakiwolo - a nurse [ @wiwo141311 ] who was attached to our head office has been described by ACTV family as a jolly, caring , enthusiastic person who brings out the best with in her colleagues. We wish you all the best of luck on this new adventure and urge you to keep being a good ambassador of social justice by supporting torture victims in our societies , Uganda and Africa at large.

We appreciate the strategic leadership of our board of directors for the journey thus far. The 30 year trek in torture prevention, response and accountability in Uganda is a story of ups and lows but with lots of successes worth the effort in bringing a smile back onto the face of a survivor. Let's fight torture together but also restore lives of survivors together!

Research studies should not only inform academia but practice as well. The study serves as an addition to the jurisprudence on torture we have in Uganda. @DignityDK @ODPPUGANDA @UHRC_UGANDA @PoliceUg @ug_lawsociety @NetpilUganda @LaspnetUganda @Justice_Centres @JudiciaryUG

"There seems to be limited public information regarding the Uganda Peoples Defence Forces officers who have been sanctioned, convicted and sentenced for human rights violations. Disarmament operations in Karamoja Sub Region are different. Implying that we are dealing with armed people. We recovered about 1,000 guns recently" - Col. Deo Karikona, Director Ideological Development, Uganda Peoples Defence Forces. @DIGNITY_INT @DignityDK @UHRC_UGANDA @USAID
