What Nicholas Opiyo Said About the UPDF Amendment Bill 2025 Before it was Passed
0The Uganda People's Defence Forces (UPDF) Amendment Bill 2025 has been passed by Parliament and now awaits President Museveni's signature to become law. The bill introduces significant changes, including provisions that allow for the trial of civilians in military courts under specific circumstances, such as possession of military equipment or attire without authorization .
In a recent episode of the "Hard Questions" show on Acoli Gate TV, human rights lawyer Nicholas Opiyo shared his insights on the bill.

Opiyo emphasized the importance of maintaining clear distinctions to uphold democratic principles and protect individual rights.
The bill's passage has sparked debate among legal experts and civil society organizations, with many echoing Opiyo's apprehensions about its potential impact on Uganda's legal and human rights landscape.
