December 24, 2020 Nicholas Opiyo at court earlier
Human rights lawyer, Nicholas Opiyo will spend his Christmas in Kitalya prison where he has been remanded on money laundering charges. He appeared this morning before the Nakawa chief magistrate Dr. Douglas Singiza who read for him the charges of money laundering.
The magistrate didn’t allow Opiyo to plead to the charges, saying his court lacks jurisdiction over the matter. He, therefore, remanded Opiyo to Kitalya prison until December 28, 2020. Judiciary spokesperson, Solomon Muyita, says Opiyo’s file has been forwarded to the registrar for onward transmission to the Anti-Corruption court which has jurisdiction over the matter.

A growing humanist movement in Uganda is demanding that nonreligious weddings be recognized.
The bride wore a white strapless tulle gown with a beaded bodice and carried a bouquet of red and white roses. Red, to symbolize “how deep she loves the groom,” and white, “to give them a spice.” Rings were exchanged. Guests clapped joyously. To an onlooker, the September nuptials of Faridah and Derrick at a hotel in Kampala, the capital of God-fearing Uganda, looked like any other wedding.
