However, their lawyer Samuel Wandera criticises the delay in sentencing, noting that some of the accused are students who have missed their studies at various universities.

Three university students and a Belgian national have been arrested this morning as they marched to the Chinese Embassy in Kololo, Kampala, to deliver a petition to the Chinese Ambassador to Uganda. The petition urges the Chinese government to stop its state-owned China National Offshore Oil Company from funding the East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP). The protesters expressed concerns that the construction of the 1,443-kilometer pipeline will harm biodiversity, destroy Uganda's tourism potential, and lead to other environmental disasters. #MonitorUpdates 📹: Busein Samilu

UPDATE: Mbarara Chief Magistrate's Court has again deferred the hearing of a bail application by 38 NUP supporters arrested on November 7, 2025, while on the campaign trail of their presidential candidate, Robert Kyagulanyi, who was intercepted en route to a campaign rally in Bwizibwera, Mbarara District. The chief magistrate, Mr Andrew Kabombo, who was scheduled to hear their application today, reportedly travelled to Kampala for “official duties”. The court’s grade one magistrate, Alex Baguma, who presided over today’s court proceedings, told the suspects who have been on remand for a month that he could not hear their application because the case was allocated to Mr Kabombo and not him. He adjourned it to December 11, 2025. Such procedural ping-pong has been common in courts handling cases involving opposition supporters across the country as Uganda gears up for the 2026 General Election in which President Yoweri K Museveni plans to retain his seat after 40 years in power. #MonitorUpdates #UgandaDecides2026 📹: Cosline Nakahiira

Celebrations broke out in the court when Magistrate Linus Samunzala acquitted activists Michael Amushelelo and Dimbulukeni Nauyoma, citing the poor quality of the state's evidence. Amushelelo had spent about seven months in incarceration since his arrest on March 21, this year. Samunzala found the evidence of the complainant, Chief Inspector Frederick Ndjatila, who was the key witness in the state's case, immaterial. The magistrate also disregarded another piece of oral evidence by one of the police officers, saying that the police officers contradicted each other. During the trial, the state called eight witnesses, all of them members of NamPol. Emil Xamro Seibeb #NBCNews #nbcDSTV282 #nbcdigitalnews #nbcGOtv20 #nbcplus

UPDATE: State Prosecutor Brian Kalinaki has asked Masaka High Court to return Fr Deusdedit Ssekabira’s case to the Chief Magistrate’s Court for plea in a Shs500 million money laundering case. Fr Ssekabira appeared before High Court judge Justice Victoria Nakintu Katamba, with the prosecution arguing that the procedure used to bring him before the High Court was improper since he was not committed by the lower court. The prosecution, which earlier said it was ready to proceed, told court on Tuesday that the High Court lacks jurisdiction. The judge is expected to deliver her ruling at 2pm. #MonitorUpdates 📹: Gertrude Mutyaba
