State A No Show In Anti-M7 Book Author Case
SOURCE: THE RED PEPPER, 24 APRIL 2012
The case against anti-M7 book author Doreen Nyanjura has failed to kick off after the state failed to show up in court for the second time.
Nyanjura together with Ibrahim Bagaya were arrested at Constitutional Square eleven days ago when after a plot to have opposition leader Kizza Besigye launch their book, “IS IT THE FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE? Unveiling The Hidden Truth”, was botched by police.
Nyanjura was then remanded to Luzira but released a few days later after university students from MUBS, Kyambogo, MUK and KIU vowed to the IGP Kale Kayihura that they would march on the streets of Kampala until their colleagues were released.
However the state seems to have lost interest in the case as it has failed to appear in court to pin Nyanjura on charges of illegal assembly and inciting violence.
Grade I magistrate Justine Nansambu said she was going to send the file back to the Director of Public Prosecution and adjourned the case to April 23
