💨 Abstract

The Ugandan government plans to introduce a law that would allow military tribunals to try civilians for certain offenses, reversing a Supreme Court ban. Opposition leaders have previously accused the government of using military courts for politically motivated charges. The law, currently awaiting cabinet approval, could potentially return opposition politician Kizza Besigye to a military court martial. Besigye has been detained for nearly five months on charges deemed politically motivated.
