Climate protesters should never be thrown into prison. EACOP is a deadly oil pipeline project and must be stopped.
I stand in solidarity. I watched videos from Luziira prison, a sad and complicated place.
All the best for the next chance to free the #KCB11, at the hearing on 6th Jan 2026!
The #KCB11 were arrested in Kampala while peacefully delivering their petition to KCB bank, demanding that the bank withdrawal from financing the EACOP. After 85 days in prison, they were released on bail.Join us on 20 Nov at 5 Bath Ave Rosebank,Joburg,at 10am,to #STOPEACOP.

📢The #KCB11 #StopEACOP activists showed up in court, but the state was a no-show. Lawyers couldn't proceed, and the case was pushed to October 14th. This isn’t justice — it’s judicial persecution, not prosecution. #ClimateJustice

After 3 months in prison and 8 court adjournments, the #KCB11 activists are finally home. But this timeline (attached) shows the real strategy: exhaust, drain, intimidate. This isn't justice. It's a masterclass in how fossil fuel interests silence dissent. Next hearing: August 26th. #StopEACOP!
