The Independent Uganda: You get the Truth we Pay the Price
Kampala, Uganda | THE INDEPENDENT | The Constitutional Court two months ago delivered a judgement that stopped the military court from trying civilian suspects.
The ruling deems it unconstitutional for civilians to be tried in the military court if they are not subject to the military system.
The court ordered the transfer to the civil court of all civilian cases being tried in the military court, and for the transfer of all persons serving a sentence imposed by the military court to the High Court Criminal Division for retrial.
On 15th July 2021, the Supreme Court granted an interim order suspending the implementation of the Constitutional Court order.
