Is Judiciary obstructing the right to peaceful protests by hiking bail fees?

On July 8, the Uganda Law Society (ULS) – probably in a quest to emulate the Kenyan Law Society that has been at the forefront of expressing solidarity with Gen Z protesters – appeared at Buganda Road Chief Magistrates Court in Kampala.

They were led by their president, Mr Bernard Oundo, into the court where Ms Fatuma Nansubuga was being charged with being a public nuisance for peacefully marching with a placard to Parliament, demanding the resignation of Speaker Anita Among over alleged corruption, mismanagement and opulence of the 11th Parliament.
