The Buganda Road Magistrates Court has remanded former Presidential Candidate, Dr. Kiiza Besigye to Luzira Prison on charges of inciting violence.
Dr. Besigye together with former Rubaga South Constituency Parliamentary Candidate Samuel Lubega Mukaku were yesterday remanded by Court presided over by Grade One Magistrate Asuman Muhumuza till June 18th, 2022 for bail application.
The Court heard that on June 14th, 2022 at Kikuubo in Shauriyako Parish in Kampala City, Besigye and Mukaku without lawful excuse made statements indicating that it would be desirable to demonstrate, which could cause violence and damage to property. Their lawyers led by Erias Lukwago and Samuel Muyizzi attempted to apply for bail but the Magistrate declined to grant their request on the basis that it was late. END
