Uganda court charges lawyer for jailed Ugandan opposition leader with concealing treason

Soldiers forcibly seized lawyer Erias Lukwago — he’s now charged with concealing treason, prompting calls for his release.
The arrest followed public threats and X posts by army chief Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba, who’s very active and combative online.
Critics say the incident highlights the military’s growing political role in Uganda and fuels talk of Muhoozi succeeding his aging father.
