Exiled Ugandan Law Society President Isaac Ssemakadde has formally protested charges brought against lawyer Erias Lukwago, alleging political persecution by the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), Lino Anguzu. Ssemakadde’s letter, addressed to the DPP and copied to key judicial figures including the Chief Justice and Attorney General, claims the prosecution is politically motivated. The complaint also extends to the East African Law Society, seeking regional attention to the matter. Details of the specific charges against Lukwago were not provided in the initial report. Ssemakadde’s statement suggests a broader concern about the independence of the judiciary and the potential for politically driven legal action in Uganda. The demand centers on a full withdrawal of the charges against Lukwago. This development raises questions about the impartiality of legal proceedings involving politically prominent individuals in Uganda.
