Others are Harold Kaija, FDC Secretary General; Roland Mugume Kaginda, former MP; and Nicholas Kamara Thadeous, MP for Kabale Municipality.
The charges stem from their attempt to deliver a petition to the Kenyan High Commission, protesting the arrest and extradition of 36 of their members from Kisumu, Kenya. The 36 individuals are currently remanded in Luzira Prison, facing terrorism charges.
