1.  Summary.  The High Court finally granted bail and release of 
Joseph Kifefe, Dr. Besigye's brother and an alleged member of the 
Peoples' Redemption Army (PRA), due to grave illness.  The court was 
satisfied with the medical reports, which provided grounds for bail 
to be granted.  Kifefe had spent more than two years in prison on 
treason charges despite being granted bail twice by the High Court. 
The release of Kifefe was received with relief by sectors of the 
public and some government officials who feared he might die in 
custody.  The High Court, however, refused to hear bail applications 
on the murder charges against the remaining nine suspects and 
transferred their cases to the circuit areas under jurisdiction of 
resident judges in Arua and Bushenyi.  End Summary. 
 
----------------------------------- 
Besigye's Brother Finally Gets Bail 
----------------------------------- 
 
2.  On June 13, High Court Judge Caroline Okello granted bail to 
Joseph Musasizi Kifefe, one of the alleged PRA suspects and brother 
to opposition Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) leader Kizza 
Besigye.  Kifefe is standing trial for treason in Kampala and facing 
murder charges in Bushenyi District.  In her ruling, Justice Okello 
said she was persuaded by the medical report, which provided grounds 
to grant the bail application.  Justice Okello further observed that 
the state had not advanced reasons as to why the bail application 
should not be granted. 
 
3.  Kifefe's lawyer, Yusuf Nsibambi, applied for bail on grounds 
that Kifefe could no longer stand prison conditions, having been 
hospitalized at Mulago Hospital with blood cancer.  He told the 
court that Kifefe's condition required constant medical supervision. 
 In his submissions, Nsibambi argued that bail was a constitutional 
right.  Nsibambi argued that the applicant has a family and home in 
Kampala, which is within the jurisdiction of the court.  He also 
pointed out that the applicant had submitted substantial sureties. 
On June 18, Kifefe was discharged from the hospital where he had 
spent more than a month in critical condition. 
 
4.  Bail was granted with conditions including: reporting to the 
High Court Registrar and the officer in charge of Kampala Central 
Police Station twice a month, an equivalent of $6,000 (not cash) to 
be paid to the registrar, depositing his passport with the High 
Court Registrar and he is prohibited from traveling abroad without 
court permission.  He also must provide a third surety to replace 
the one the High Court rejected on grounds that she was facing 
charges in the Magistrates' court. 
 
--------------------------------------------- --- 
DPP Objected To Bail Hearings For Other Suspects 
--------------------------------------------- --- 
 
5.  Simon Byabakama, Deputy Director for Public Prosecution, earlier 
objected to the hearing of the PRA bail applications, arguing that 
as court practice, the particular cases did not fall under the 
jurisdiction of the Kampala High Court.  He submitted that the cases 
should be handled in the circuit areas of Mbarara and Arua, 
respectively.  Byabakama was in agreement that Kifefe suffered grave 
illness, which implied that he had fulfilled bail requirements under 
the law. 
 
--------------------------------------------- --------- 
Court Transfers Defendants For Bail Hearing to Circuit Courts 
--------------------------------------------- --------- 
 
6.  Justice Okello ruled that the remaining suspects should be 
transferred to the circuit areas under jurisdiction of resident 
judges in Mbarara and Arua, respectively.  The detainees did not 
appear in court although production warrants had been issued.  They 
are facing murder charges in Bushenyi and Arua districts that were 
placed on them after receiving bail on March first. 
 
------- 
Comment 
------- 
 
7.  Government officials were concerned that if Kifefe died in 
custody, the GOU would never hear the end of it from international 
donors and NGOs.  This would have been particularly sensitive in 
advance of CHOEM.  The circuit courts are yet to set a date to hear 
the bail applications of the remaining suspects on the murder 
charges.  The next key date for the alleged PRA suspects is on July 
16.  The constitutional court is supposed to rule on the legality of 
the March first, court siege by security personnel (reftels), the 
simultaneous proceedings against the PRA suspects in the General 
Court Marshall (GCM) and the murder charges.  End Comment.
