A court in Uganda charges Erias Lukwago, a lawyer for jailed opposition leader Kizza Besigye, with concealing treason, according to multiple reports. The charge is presented as an escalation in an ongoing legal dispute involving Lukwago and the country’s security establishment. Reports say Lukwago previously sought to hold Uganda’s army chief accountable over alleged abuses, and the new case increases the pressure around his efforts on Besigye’s behalf. The reports describe Besigye as already jailed, and Lukwago as acting as his attorney. While details of the specific allegations surrounding “concealing treason” are limited in the available summaries, the charge itself is characterized as part of a broader confrontation between political opposition figures and military authorities. The action by the court indicates that prosecutors are pursuing criminal charges against Lukwago in connection with the controversy surrounding his attempts to challenge alleged conduct by senior military leadership. The case is expected to proceed through Uganda’s legal system.
