Stephen Mubiru Grants Bail to Opposition Lawmakers in Uganda

Treason Charges Granted Bail by High Court

A Ugandan high court judge, Stephen Mubiru, on Monday granted bail to an opposition lawmaker, Robert Kyagulanyi. Kyagulanyi was charged with treason over his alleged role in the stoning of President Yoweri Musevenis convoy this month. The MP popularly referred to as Bobi Wine, was first released and rearrested by police after a court-martial dropped charges against him on Thursday. Pressure begun mounting for the release of the lawmaker after he and other MPs were kept in detention over the stone pelting incident.
