Chief Justice Alfonse Owiny-Dollo ordered a full investigation after violence broke out at the Nakawa court last week. Many people got hurt during a fight that started at Dr Kizza Besigye's treason hearing. The top judge said the violence was wrong and completely unacceptable. He promised that anyone who caused trouble would face legal consequences. Court officials must make sure all court buildings stay safe and peaceful.

The chaos began when Ingrid Turinawe started filming people inside the courtroom. A suspected security officer grabbed her phone and started attacking others nearby. This action sparked a bigger fight that spread through the court building. Paul Kisule from the People's Front for Freedom got badly hurt and had blood coming from his mouth. Medical workers had to take him away from the courthouse for treatment.

Earlier that same week, right after Besigye's court session ended, two other people were arrested. Officials took Umar Katongole and another person away in a vehicle. They released both men later that night, but they had visible injuries from their detention. Besigye, his assistant Obeid Lutale, and army Captain Denis Oola face treason charges. The three men applied for bail twice, but judges rejected their first request last month.
