Proscovia Salaamu Musumba, the Spokesperson for the People’s Front for Freedom (PFF) and former Kamuli District Woman MP, has revealed that she has spent three months stranded in the United Kingdom due to deep-seated fears of abduction, alleged surveillance, and psychological torture.
According to Musumba, her extended stay abroad was triggered by mounting security concerns following the high-profile abduction of opposition figure Dr Kizza Besigye in Nairobi, coupled with her name repeatedly surfacing in connection to his ongoing treason case. She stated that she will only return to Uganda once she receives firm guarantees regarding her personal safety and fundamental freedoms.

Her remarks underline growing anxieties among political activists and leaders concerning transnational repression, state surveillance, and the broader erosion of civil liberties in Uganda
