The President of National Unity Platform (NUP), Kyagulanyi Robert aka Bobi Wine has spoken out against the arrest of city lawyer Mabirizi.

Bobi Wine has also asked Justice Ssekaana Musa to accord Kampala jailed lawyer Male Mabirizi Kiwanuka his right to a fair trial.

Earlier this week, security operatives arrested Lawyer Male Mabirizi and took him to a hideout. This happened after Justice Ssekaana’s order to imprison him for 18 months on charges of contempt of court.

“I’ve learnt of the arrest and detention of Mr. Male Mabirizi. He might have wronged some people but he’s is entitled to due process of law,” Bobi Wine said.

He further said all law enforcement agencies should uphold Mabirizi’s rights and freedoms and accord him his right to a fair trial.

Mr. Male Mabirizi filed a stay of execution in court last week, however, the registrars and Judges were not in court on Wednesday which was a public holiday, Thursday, and even on Friday.

According to his Lawyer Isaac Ssemakadde, they will know Mr. Mabirizi’s judgment on stay of execution on Friday 25th February 2021.

Court remanded Mabirizi to Kitalya prison, and his lawyers are fighting to save him.
