Court has ordered police to release Dr Kizza Besigye’s vehicle that was towed to Central Police Station (CPS) during his arrest mid this year as he protested against the high commodity prices.
Dr Besigye’s car was taken to police mid this year when he took to the streets to protest high commodity prices after which he was arrested and charged with allegedly inciting the public in downtown Kampala.
“Having heard the submissions for both parties, I allow the application and direct the prosecution and by extension the inspector of police to release the motor vehicle registration No UAK773F to Dr Besigye subject to production of proof of ownership or to Mr Obendi Kamulegeya, the name in which it is registered,” ordered Magistrate Asuman Muhumuza.
The order of the court was prompted by an application filed by Dr Besigye’s lawyers.
