The Uganda Law Council has granted Martha Karua, a leading lawyer in Kenya, a temporary practicing certificate that will allow her to represent two civilians, Dr Kizza Besigye and Obeid Lutale, in Uganda's general court-martial. Details here. The trial begins today.
Still no word from the country's Supreme Court, which has before it a case that will decide the validity of the statute that permits civilians to be tried by court-martial.
