Ghost pilot case delayed for jurisdictional ruling

Uganda's general court-martial has stayed proceedings while the civilian High Court adjudicates whether the court-martial has jurisdiction over a civilian government employee. The case involves a fake Russian helicopter pilot who was carried on the rolls in a scam that lasted 11 years. Details here.

Human rights jurisprudence strongly disfavors the trial of civilians by military courts.
