Uganda: Besigye Lawyers Warn Trial May Face Delays Over Summons for Gen Muhoozi

Lawyers defending opposition figure Kizza Besigye and his co-accused Hajj Obeid Lutale are raising alarms about possible delays in their court case. The defense team, which includes senior advocate Elias Lukwago, says disruptions affecting members of the legal team could slow down the proceedings ahead.

The situation adds another layer of tension to a case that has already drawn significant public attention in Uganda. With the summons of General Muhoozi now part of the conversation, the courtroom dynamics are shifting in ways that could push timelines further back.

For now, all eyes remain on how the court responds to the defense team's concerns, and whether the proceedings will move forward on schedule or stall under the weight of these complications.
