Ugandan lawyer and former mayor Erias Lukwago has been charged with a treason-related offence after his recent arrest in Kampala. Lukwago, who represents detained opposition leader Kizza Besigye in a high-profile treason case, appeared in court looking visibly weak according to local reports. He denied allegations of failing to report treason and was remanded to prison pending a further hearing next week. The case has drawn significant political attention in Uganda. #Uganda #Politics #EriasLukwa
