Why is this former legislator's case in military court?

Uganda's High Court will decide whether to grant bail to a civilian (former legislator) who is on trial with several soldiers in the country's General Court-Martial. Details here. Human rights norms strongly disfavor the trial of civilians in military courts. Uganda is a major offender in this regard.
