High Court adjourns Besigye treason trial to 29 July, orders accused to choose state-brief lawyers

Justice Emmanuel Baguma adjourned the treason trial of Kizza Besigye and Hajj Obeid Lutale to 29 July after a proposed state-brief advocate asked for two weeks to submit his CV, directing the accused to choose counsel from a list of 786 accredited advocates. The Observer reports that the prosecution confirmed it had completed disclosure of its evidence, and the judge ordered Luzira Prison authorities to facilitate meetings with lawyers and not to interfere with the disclosure materials.
