The High Court has issued another order calling for the release of political activist and novelist Kakwenza Rukirabashaija with immediate effect.

In the order issued by Justice Musa Ssekaana, the High Court has specifically directed the Commander of Special Forces Command Gen. Peter Candia, the Director of  Criminal Investigations Directorate (CID) Grace Akullo, the Inspector General of Police Martin Okoth Ochola and the Attorney General of Uganda to ensure that Kakwenza is produced before the High Court at Kampala on January 12, 2021, at 10:00am.

The order followed an application for a writ of habeas corpus to the High Court by Kakwenza through his lawyers.

Last week on Tuesday the Makindye Magistrates Court ordered the unconditional release of novelist Kakwenza Rukirabashaija who according to police was arrested on December 28, 2021 for abusing President Yoweri Museveni and his son Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba
