Uganda's online critics allege abductions and intimidation
Critics of the Ugandan authorities who post online allege they face abductions and intimidation. Families are searching for missing relatives, Al Jazeera reports.
In Uganda, a country in East Africa, people who criticise those in power online say they face abductions and intimidation. The allegations are reported by Al Jazeera, whose headline quotes one of the critics: "I will not delete my posts".
The available excerpt of the report says that families are currently searching for missing relatives. This suggests the tension around online speech affects not only the commentators themselves but also their loved ones.
The available text does not say which institutions are accused, how many people have gone missing, or how Ugandan officials respond to the allegations. Because the source does not give these details, they are not included here.
The Al Jazeera piece was published on 4 November 2026 and looks at how criticism on social media is being met in Uganda.
