Court Remands Five NUP Supporters Over 'Military Parade'
Five more supporters of the National Unity Platform (NUP) have been remanded to Luzira prison on charges of unlawful drilling after being seen in videos conducting a "military-like parade."
The five, who have been in police custody for approximately two weeks, were brought to court under heavy security.
The group, which includes Tasi Calvin, Serunkuuma Edwin, Lukenge Sharif, Yasin Nyanzi, and Tonny Kaweesi, now join Edward Sebuufu, also known as Eddie Mutwe, and Achileo Kivumbi, who were previously charged with the same offense.
According to the prosecution, the seven accused—along with others who have not yet been arrested—attended an unsanctioned meeting on February 12, 2025, at the NUP offices in Makerere-Kavule.
