Uganda’s Director of Public Prosecutions is opposing bail for opposition leader Erias Lukwago, president of the People’s Front for Freedom. The DPP argues Lukwago presents a flight risk, potentially fleeing the country to avoid prosecution. Furthermore, the prosecution contends Lukwago’s significant political influence could allow him to interfere with witnesses in the case. The objection was filed in an affidavit before the Criminal Division of the High Court. Details of the charges against Lukwago have not been specified in this report. The outcome of the bail application remains pending a court decision. This opposition signals a potentially protracted legal battle for the opposition figure.
