Quick Glance: Court Charges 42 Ugandan Youths for Anti-Graft Protest
- Following a banned anti-corruption protest on Tuesday, a Ugandan magistrate's court has brought charges against at least 42 youths for alleged offenses and placed them in custody.
- On Tuesday, protesters took to various streets in the capital Kampala, chanting slogans and displaying placards condemning corruption by lawmakers.
- The accusations encompassed a range of offenses, including being "idle and disorderly" and constituting a "common nuisance", as indicated in the court's charge sheet. The defendants entered pleas of not guilty and were instructed to appear in court on different dates between July 30 and August 6.
- The arrests highlighted, according to Human Rights Watch, the lack of respect from President Yoweri Museveni's government for individuals' rights to protest and express themselves.
