Martha Karua denied entry into Uganda, declared persona non grata

People’s Liberation Party leader and Senior Counsel Martha Karua has been banned from entering Uganda. The ban took effect after she was denied entry at Entebbe International Airport while en route to Kampala to meet her co-counsel in the case involving Kizza Besigye. She has since been declared persona non grata. The East Africa Law Society has announced plans to sue the Ugandan authorities, seeking clarity on the circumstances surrounding her deportation.
