Buwaso Ibrahim Razack is a poet and spoken word artist from Uganda, deeply committed to defending human rights. In 2020, he began to face persecution in Uganda, over a piece published on the website of the International Human Rights Art Festival (IHRAF) called âDear Godâ, which criticized the Ugandan government. Buwaso was subjected to threats, abduction, unlawful detention and torture in Uganda. Upon his release, he fled the country and is currently living in exile.
AGL provides support to Buwaso on several legal issues including relocation support and navigating risks associated with life in exile. Buwasoâs case is ongoing.
We are grateful for the support of our partners:
