Uganda's President Yoweri Museveni has signed into law an amendment that will allow, once again, civilians to be tried in a military court under certain circumstances.

Museveni, who has been in power since 1986, described the verdict as the "wrong decision", adding that "the country is not governed by the judges. It is governed by the people."

The 51-year-old army general is seen as a possible successor to his long-serving father, Yoweri Museveni, in power since 1986, who has denied that he is grooming his son for the presidency.

The general said he would only release the bodyguard if ordered to do so by his father, President Museveni.

Bobi Wine, a popular singer who has declared his intention to challenge President Museveni for the second time in the 2026 elections, has often been prevented from holding political rallies.
