The supporters of the Democratic Party have threatened to storm Luzira prison, break into its gates and set free the political prisoners detained there without trail.

The Public Relations Officer of the Democratic Party, Jude Mbabaali says that DP wants the government to release the 23 Bugandariot suspects who have been jailed at Luzira prison since September 2009.

Mbabali says that DP has given the government only 30 days ultimatum to start the trial of the case of these 23 suspects. Speaking at the DP head offices, Mbabali said that failure by the government to release the suspects the party would use violent means to secure their immediate release.

Mbabali says that DP lawyers headed by Mukasa Mbidde, Medard Seggona and Erias Lukwago have visited all the offices concerned in a bid to secure the release of the suspects. Mbabali says that the party has written to chief justice Benjamin Odoki over the issue.
