Arua municipality MP-elect Kassiano Wadri has today been charged with treason and remanded to Gulu Main Prison until August 30.
Wadri who won the Arua municipality seat from prison after being arrested on Monday evening appeared before the Chief Magistrate's Court in Gulu together with MPs Gerald Karuhanga, Paul Mwiru and 33 other suspects.
Prosecution accuses the suspects of stoning the president's motorcade with the intention of harming the president on Monday evening.
Magistrate Francis Matenga Dawa remanded the suspects but directed that the MPs be allowed to access to medical treatment from a facility of their choice.
This was after the suspects' lawyer Medard Sseggona told court that the suspects were tortured and are in need of medical attention.
In a related development, Kyadondo East MP Robert Kyagulanyi and Mityana municipality MP Francis Zaake did not appear in the General Court Martial in Gulu as earlier anticipated.
Lawyers and family members claimed they were denied access to the legislators. It's highly likely that the MPs will not appear in court today as the army court officials led by Lt Gen Andrew Gutti only set off for Gulu today morning.
Kyagulanyi whose driver Yasin Kawuma was shot dead in Arua and Zaake were arrested with several other suspects on Monday and Tuesday.
