We have met at Parliament with leaders from other pro-struggle political formations over the plight of our senior comrades Dr. @kizzabesigye1 and Hajj Obeid Kamulegeya who are currently detained at Luzira Prison. The two were last month abducted from Kenya by the Ugandan regime and produced before the kangaroo court martial in Makindye on politically-motivated charges. In the joint statement issued after our discussion, we have strongly condemned the abduction of Dr. Besigye and Hajj. Kamulegeya from Kenya, and their subsequent sham 'trial' by the military court which has no jurisdiction over civilians and from which the two will NEVER get a fair trial. We demand that either the charges against Dr. Besigye and Hajj Obeid are dropped entirely, or that their case is transferred to civilian courts. The unconstitutional practice of trying civilians in military courts must equally stop forthwith as numerous rulings by Uganda's Constitutional Court have ordered! #FreeAllPoliticalPrisonersUganda
