Ten young Ugandans were remanded to Luzira prison following their arrest during a protest against the East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP). The individuals, ranging in age from 20 to 26, work in various trades including painting, hairdressing, construction, and casual labor. They appeared before Buganda Road Chief Magistrate’s court on Tuesday, where the decision to detain them was made. Details regarding specific charges were not provided in the initial report. The protest highlights ongoing opposition to the controversial EACOP project, which faces criticism for potential environmental and social impacts. This action signals a potential crackdown on dissent related to the pipeline’s development. Further legal proceedings are expected as the case progresses.
