Uganda leader signs new law allowing military trials for civilians

Uganda President Museveni signs law allowing military trials for civilians, allowing military courts for civilians found with military gear. This law, following a Supreme Court ruling against a previous version, aims to ensure impartiality and independence in military tribunals. Critics fear the law will target opposition members, with concerns over indefinite detention and harsh penalties in military courts. The Uganda Law Society plans to challenge the constitutionality of the amendment.
