On the 13th of January, 2015, it took a group of journalists, led by their body Human Rights Network for Journalists-Uganda (HRNJ-Uganda) resorting to a peaceful demonstration from the city center to the Police headquarters in Naguru for the police to take action by arresting the implicated officer and charging him with Assault and malicious damage to property at Buganda Road Court. He was released on bail on the same day.
Trial has raged on since 2015 to now 10th March, 2017 when court is set to deliver its final judgement on the matter. This case has been a center of attention and generated interest of many journalists -both local and international, media fraternity, Civil society, Non-Governmental Organisations, the International and Donor community, politicians, government and the general public, among others.
Lets stand in solidarity with Andrew Lwanga and the media at large in seeking justice and pushing for a more secure working environment as we attend court to witness delivery of the much-awaited judgement.
