Episode Synopsis

Uganda's parliament passed a law that permits military tribunals to try civilians, prompting protests from the opposition, who said the move violated a Supreme Court ruling in January that banned such trials, which the opposition claims silence opponents. Eddy Micah Jr. speaks to Dr. Bireete Sarah, Executive Director for the Center for Constitutional Governance, and DW's Frank Yiga in Kampala.
