According to a People's Front for Freedom statement, the bail hearing of its executive chairman Erias Lukwago, who faces a charge of misprision of treason, did not proceed because Justice David Matovu was reportedly away attending to his ill mother, and no new date was set. The party said Lukwago's health was getting worse and demanded his unconditional release so he can get treatment.
