Dr. Reuben Kigame’s Petition Against State Officials Certified as Urgent, Court

The private prosecution petition filed by presidential aspirant Dr. Reuben Kigame against  top state and security officials has officially been placed before Justice Bahati  Mwamunye. A Certificate of Urgency has been granted, recognizing the gravity of the  issues raised in the case.

The court had initially scheduled the matter for hearing in October 2025. However, Dr.  Kigame’s legal team has indicated that they will be seeking an earlier date due to the  urgent nature of the constitutional violations involved.

The petition seeks accountability for the killings, abductions, and torture of civilians during  recent protests and calls for legal action against those responsible, including state officers and enablers.
