Eron Kiiza, a human rights lawyer representing Ugandan political opposition leader Dr. Kizza Besigye, was tortured following his arrest and detention without trial.
Human rights organizations have condemned Eron Kiiza's imprisonment, stating that his treatment violates both domestic and international laws regarding human rights.
Colleagues who visited Kiiza in prison reported visible signs of torture, including swelling in his joints and severe bruising, indicative of physical abuse.
The Ugandan Army's spokesperson dismissed torture claims, asserting that Kiiza’s sentencing adhered to local laws despite widespread condemnation from human rights defenders.
