Uganda’s veteran opposition figure Kizza Besigye’s lawyers, Erias Lukwago, and Martha Karua walk after a court proceeding at the High Court in Kampala on June 11, 2026.
Ugandan security forces have arrested Erias Lukwago, a senior opposition figure and lawyer representing detained People’s Front for Freedom party leader Kizza Besigye, who is on trial for treason, the PFF said on Monday.
Lukwago, formerly the mayor of the Ugandan capital Kampala, represents Besigye also in a related case, where he sued the country’s military chief Muhoozi Kainerugaba for repeatedly threatening his life on social media. Kainerugaba is the son of Uganda’s President Yoweri Museveni.
