The General Court Martial in Makindye has on Monday released on bail members of Bobi Wine’s National Unity Platform who have been on remand since December last year.
The released include Bobi Wine bodyguard Eddie Mutwe ,Singer Nubian Li and Producer Dan Magic.
The released are facing charges related to possession of fire arms.
The group had made several attempts at bail but kept getting stonewalled by government prosecution, on different grounds.
In the last court sitting in which the army court released 17 of the 35 NUP supporters, Chairman Gen Court Martial sent back Eddie Mutwe and his group on remand, on grounds that prosecution was still examining their affidavits.
The group was arrested on December 30th 2020 in Kalangala district, while on the campaign trail with their candidate Robert Kyagulanyi.
“All our comrades who were arrested last year from Kalangala have been released on bail. These have spent six months while under detention for no crime whatsoever. Thanks to our legal team and everyone who has worked tirelessly to ensure these comrades regain their freedom,” NUP said in a statement.
