Law Group Steps Up to Help People in Army Courts.
Uganda's top law group said it will help people who face army courts. This comes after the highest court ruled that army courts must not try regular people.
The Uganda Law Society wants these cases moved to normal courts. They plan to send lawyers to help the accused.
The law group made a team to read the court's words. This team will tell people what the ruling means in simple terms.
They aim to find people in army courts who need help. These people will then see lawyers in normal courts.
Isaac Ssemakadde leads the law group. He says everyone needs fair help with the law.
"Fair trials belong to all people, not just the rich," he said. "We want to make sure no one stands alone in an army court."
The team plans to visit jails and army courts and look for people who need help with the law.
Yet, some worry that things move slowly. The head law office has not done much to implement the court's words, and many cases stay in army courts.
Big names like Dr. Kizza Besigye and Obed Lutale face army courts, and some members of the National Unity Platform also appear there.
The law group works hard to bring fair trials. They want to keep regular people out of army courts. This helps make sure everyone sees justice the right way.
