Silence engulfed Old Kampala Primary School last Thursday when refugees living in the different suburbs of Kampala shared chilling stories of the torture they are being subjected to. They expressed their agony through a song dubbed Sisi Wote Ni wa Afrika (We are all Africans) accompanied by a play. In the chorus damu ni moja, juko wandugu, sisi ni wandugu(same blood, brothers and sisters), the refugees cried out for peace, respect, justice and equality highlighting that they did not wish to abandon their home countries. This was the precursor of the community dialogue to create awareness of the international and national law against torture as the world prepares to mark the Anti-torture Day on tomorrow. The dialogue was organised by the Uganda Human Rights Commission in (UHRC) in collaboration with Coalition Against Torture (CAT).
