We'll also have a quick update from Enron Kiiza, lawyer of the PEN International 2021 Writer of Courage, Ugandan novelist and Black Star News columnist, Kakwenza Rukirabashaija who was arrested on December 28, 2021 by the Gen. Yoweri Museveni dictatorship. Rukirabashaija has reported been tortured while in captivity. He was first arrested in 2020 and tortured by the regime following the publication of his novel "The Greedy Barbarian" about a dictator in a fictional African country.
