The members of Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) are smiling from west to left because their party has received $2m from German to be used in the legal battles the party is currently facing.

As we talk now FDC is battling a court case at Nakawa Chief Magistrate’s Court in which three Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) officials and others are charged with treason in connection with walk-to-work protests.

 The chief magistrate of Nakawa court, Esta Nambayo heard last week that the case was still before the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP).

Nambayo last week adjourned the case to March 12, 2012 for hearing. The three FDC officials facing treason charges include Ingrid Turinawe (FDC women league leader), Francis Mwijukye (leader of FDC youth), and Sam Mugumya (FDC president Col Kizza Besigye’s aide). Sources say that FDC is going to use the money to pay the lawyers defending its officials at Nakawa court.

]]> The treason case in which three leaders of the Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) are accused of participating in the Walk to Work protests was today extended for three weeks to allow the Director of Public Prosecutions, Mr. Richard Buteera, examine their file.

The leaders being talked about are FDC’women leader Ingrid Turinawe, FDC youth leader Francis Mwijukye, and Col. Kiiza Besigye aide Sam Mugumya.

The trio appeared before the Nakawa Chief Magistrates Courttoday morning. The session was presided over by Justice Esta Nambayo for the mention of their case. The bail of the three accused persons was extended to February 13th, 2012.

These three opposition supporters were arrested last year over reportedly planning the walk-to-work protests, an act the Police Chief Maj. Gen. Kale Kayihura said it was equivalent to treason.
