Rwakafuuzi commissions legal team for Rwenzori suspects

Senior counsel for constitutionalism and human rights, Laudislaus Kiiza Rwakafuuzi has sent three lawyers to represent the suspects form Kasese and Bundibugyo during the life of the General Court Martial. 56 suspects will take the plea today in the Kasese Court Martial sitting while 114 suspects will appear before it in Bundibugyo; they have already taken the plea of not guilty, on Aug 7 and Aug. 11. Dubbed the Rwenzori Justice Mission, Rwakafuzi told the team that they must strategize on how best to serve justice to the suspects who are already unfairly being tried by the Court Martial that is supposed to discipline its officers when they are community offences but not civilians who are supposed to be handled by the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) and the police.
