According to the Government spokesperson, Mr. Lumbuye will be banned from accessing the country’s land and airspace for life, his assets frozen and a formal notice for his extradition to be served to Turkey. It shows a photo of Lumbuye, a controversial blogger and government critic who was arrested in Turkey on 5 August. He is wanted in Uganda for multiple offences including what the Ugandan police say is spreading false information. Data from CrowdTangle , Facebook’s public insights tool, shows that the screenshot has been shared many times, prompting thousands of reactions.
