Nakawa Chief Magistrate’s Court has remanded 36 supporters of the Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) on allegations of terrorism.
The three dozen were arrested in Kenya and handed over to Ugandan authorities by Kenyan security last week. The group is alleged to have been engaged in covert activities suspected to be subversive to Kenyan security forces.
The prosecution alleges that on the 22nd and 23rd of July 2024, the 36 traveled to Kisumu, Kenya, to receive terrorism training. They have been remanded till August 13, 2024.
According to Dr. Kizza Besigye, on July 23rd, 36 of his (FDC) colleagues traveled to Kisumu for a week-long leadership workshop. They were allegedly cleared by Ugandan immigration and security.
He said a few hours later (during the night), their residences at Ukweri Catholic Pastoral Centre, Kisumu, were violently attacked, doors broken, and all brutally arrested.
