Kabale Chief Magistrate, Agatonica Mbabazi has issued arrest warrants for political activists in the For God and my Country (4GC) activism group.
The magistrate issued the warrants for FDC flag-bearer Kizza Besigye and embattled Kampala Mayor Erias Lukwago because the suspects failed to show up in court for a third consecutive time.
Other suspects affected by the warrants are FDC women league leader Ingrid Turinawe and Rukungiri Municipality MP Roland Mugume. The suspects were not even represented in court by their lawyers.
The activists are charged with inciting violence at a rally in Kabale Municipality stadium in 2012. Prosecution claims Besigye and others injured four police officers and vandalized three police vehicles.
The arrest warrants were given to their sureties who included Kabale FDC Chairperson Lydia Turyahumura, Kabale Municipality Mayor Pius Ruhemurana, Kabale Central Division chairperson Sentaro Byamugisha and Kabale Central Division Speaker Julis Tituryebwa. Read more
