Breaking! Joy As Bobi wine Is A warded With International Humanitarian Award In USA
Bobi Wine awarded with International Humanitarian Award in USA
Kyadondo East legislator, Robert Kyagulanyi commonly known as Bobi Wine was awarded with this year’s International Humanitarian Award in the United States of America (USA).

The pop star who is currently in the USA, attended the Global Peace and Human Rights Summit in Chicago, USA where he received his accolade.

The Global Peace and Human Rights Summit is organised every year by Martin Luther King Jr’s former associate, Rev. Jesse Jackson.

This year’s conference was attended by, among others, Martin Luther King’s associate Rev. Jesse Jackson; Joe Biden – President Barrack Obama’s Vice President (2009 – 2017); and several other hopeful presidential candidates in the US 2020 election.

In his speech, Bobi Wine dedicated his award to human right activists in Uganda.

He said that the award will encourage him to work even more until the country is free from oppression.

Bobi Wine also recognised incarcerated Dr. Stella Nyanzi saying that the researcher continues to ‘rot’ in jail simply because she wrote a poem that criticised and reportedly disturbed the peace of President Museveni.

“…So while I am very lucky to be standing before you ladies and gentlemen, I must inform the world that another activist — an academic giant, a woman, Dr. Stella Nyanzi, continues to rot in jail simply because she wrote a poem that criticises President Museveni who has been president of Uganda for 33 years,” Kyagulanyi said in part.

Kyagulanyi said that his passion to fight for freedom was not born out of the classroom but out of the streets as he grew up in one of the poorest places in Uganda where the people face various human rights violations.
