Five top city criminal lawyers in Kampala have left the country to the International Criminal Court (ICC) on sponsorship of an International human rights group/ organisation.
Caleb Alaka (30th March) and Samuel Muyizzi Mulindwa (2nd April) are among those who are set to leave the country to the to the pre trial chamber of the ICC.
When contacted, Caleb Alaka said it is a study trip at the pre trial chamber of the ICC and they are expected to discuss several procedural matters and cases before this Court from the great lakers region and most probably some matters touching the indictments of LRA top commanders.
They will also discuss about the progress of the International Crimes Division (ICD) of the high court of Uganda, a special division created to try International related crimes and crimes against humanity.
The case against Thomas Kwoyelo is expected to dominate the discussion about the ICD performance. It is a case which has put to test the judicial system of Uganda as kwoyelo who was released by the Constitutional court remains remanded at Luzira without a valid remand warrant.
