Alfred Byamukama released after 28 years on remand

The High Court in Mbarara has acquitted Alfred Byamukama, who had been on remand for 28 years without trial. He was originally charged with murder, but it was subsequently revealed that he had a mental disorder at the time of the offense, making him unfit to stand trial. The court described his prolonged detention as a serious violation of his human rights, particularly his right to a fair hearing. Our reporter was present during his release and now reports.
