The People’s Liberation Party (PLP) leader and former Justice Minister Martha Karua has moved to a Ugandan court seeking to overturn her deportation and secure her return to represent jailed opposition leader Kizza Besigye and his co-accused in a criminal case stemming from their 2024 arrest in Nairobi.
Ms Karua, alongside the Uganda Law Society, is challenging the June 22 decision by Uganda’s Principal Immigration Officer at Entebbe International Airport to deny her entry and declare her a “persona non grata”. They argued that the decision was unlawful and made without giving her a hearing.
