Janani Luwum

Janani Luwum was an Acholi from northern Uganda, a village schoolteacher converted in the East African Revival in 1948, who rose to lead the Anglican church in Uganda in 1974 - two years into Idi Amin's rule. As the disappearances mounted, the bishops drafted a protest naming what was happening to their people, and Luwum delivered it. On 16 February 1977 he was summoned to a public assembly with two cabinet ministers, accused of plotting a coup, and driven away. The government announced the next day that he had died in a car crash.

When the body was finally released the family was refused a proper viewing, and those who saw it reported bullet wounds; later testimony from inside the regime pointed to Amin himself. Uganda marks his death as a national holiday, and his statue stands above the west door of Westminster Abbey among the martyrs of the twentieth century.
