The High Court has issued an order directing police and the army to vacate the home of former presidential candidate, Robert Kyagulanyi, in Magere.
Court has advised state that if it has evidence that Kyagulanyi is a danger to society and is about to commit an offence, it should follow the law, arrest him, take him to an authorized detention centre and later produce him in court otherwise his continued detention at his home is illegal and an infringement on his personal liberties.
Justice Micheal Elubu has also immediately restored the right to restricted movements to Barbra Itungo, wife to Kyagulanyi and the Attorney General must pay them costs for the application.
Earlier, Kyagulanyi’s lawyers led by Anthony Wameli filed an application before High Court Civil Division saying, their client and his wife have been placed under illegal detention at their home by security personnel comprised of UPDF and police since the Election Day on 14th January.
