Nakifuma Grade One magistrate Sylvia Nvanungi is to deliver her ruling on an application by former presidential candidate Dr Kizza Besigye and three others seeking unconditional release from Nagalama police station on Wednesday October 25.
Dr Besigye, together with Fdc secretary for Mobilization, Ingrid Turinawe, FDC presidential candidate Patrick Amuriat and Rukungiri district councillor, Innocent Tashobya have been detained at Nagalama since their arrest from Rukungiri on Thursday last week over commanding unlawful assembly that caused loss of life and injured many.
The four through their lawyer d AF Mpanga and Co Advocates filed a petition seeking their immediate release from what they call illegal detention.
Kampala Mayor Erias Lukwago filed the petition at midday and the magistrate immediately issued summonses to Nagalama DPC Jesca Naawe and OC/CID Labu Chepcule to appear at 1pm and explain why they continue to detain the suspects without charge.
However, the two police officers refused to sign the summonses and the magistrate went on to hear the application in absence of the police officers and adjourned the case until Wednesday when she will deliver her ruling.
Later the suspects were seen driven off in a police convoy to yet undisclosed location.
