The family members of people president Museveni’s government kept in prison without trial broke down in tears on Monday. This development occurred after the Luzira Prison authorities failed to produce the suspects who were arrested in 2009 to court.

The suspects were arrested in September 2009 during the three dayBuganda riots. The riots resulted following the government’s refusal of the Kabaka of Buganda and his Katikkiro to tour hiscounty ofBugerere (Kayunga district). The suspects were scheduled to appear before court today but the relatives of the suspects broke in tears when the Prison’s bus arrived without the suspects.

Only five prisoners facing minor charges such as assault and indecent assault disembarked from the Luzira prison bus. The relatives cried bitterly cursing president Museveni’s regime for denying their relatives a right to justice for three years.

The suspects include: Candida Nsubuga, Robert Sekabira, Nsubuga Kamada, Jethro Livingstone, Bashir Tyaba, Kassim Ntanzi, Salim Magoba, Paul Kikulwe, Gerald Kagga, Musa Ssengendo, Hakim Lwanga, Muzafaru Mugisha, Richard Kijjambu, Juma Sekyanzi, Adaadi Kibuuka, Sam Ssemambo, Sadat Luswata Buyungo, John Gafumba, , Joseph Katamba, Bob Kakembo, Elisa Mujuni, Mohammed Sekatawa, Meddie Nsubuga, Emmanuel Muteesaasira and Rogers Zinda.
