KAMPALA

The army has been urged to refrain from using excessive force at courts, as such actions hinder public access to the judiciary.

The Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) criticized the military’s conduct during the appearance of its former founding president, Col. Dr. Kizza Besigye, at the Makindye General Court Martial. Dr. Besigye had allegedly been abducted from Kenya, deported to Uganda, and charged with illegal possession of firearms.

FDC Spokesperson John Kikonyogo condemned the handling of Dr. Besigye and his ally, Hajji Obeid Lutale Kamulegeya, calling the charges baseless and their treatment unprofessional.

The FDC also expressed concern over the increasing trend of civilians being tried in military courts, describing it as a clear violation of human rights.

“If there are legitimate charges against them, they should be tried in civilian courts. If not, they should be released immediately,” Kikonyogo stated.

The FDC further raised concerns over Kenya’s growing risks for Ugandan politicians. They referenced past incidents, including attempts to arrest two former Ugandan prime ministers, Rt. Hon. Ruhakana Rugunda and Rt. Hon. Amama Mbabazi, during previous Kenyan administrations.

Today (December 2), Besigye and Lutale reappeared to court for their case hearing and the case was adjourned to December 10. The adjourned followed a request by Dr. Besigye’s lawyer, Erias Lukwago to postpone the hearing to allow processing of a temporary practice licence for lead lawyer Martha Karua.

Speaking to journalists soon after the court session, Kenyan lawyer Martha Karua claimed she was harassed and subjected to humiliating body search by the Ugandan army at Makindye General Court Martial. The lawyers said they are committed to ensuring that Dr. Besigye and Lutale receive fair justice.

In related news, the FDC expressed sorrow over the recent mudslide disaster in Bulambuli District, which devastated two villages, killing 22 people and leaving hundreds feared trapped in the debris. They called for civic sensitization of affected families before implementing government-proposed relocations.
