Opposition MPs in Uganda left parliament after the prime minister and attorney general failed to give a satisfactory answer on the fate of two lawmakers.
Lawmakers Mohammed Ssegirinya and Allan Ssewanyana, both members of Bobi Wine’s National Unity Platform party, were recently released on bail after being charged with murder in connection with attacks in the central region of the country.
But they were detained immediately after their release from prison.
On Monday evening, Mr. Ssegirinya was taken from his lawyer’s car outside Kigo prison by armed security officers dressed in black and taken in an unmarked Toyota Hiace van.
Police say he now faces new charges of treason and incitement to violence.
Mr. Ssewanyana was detained in similar circumstances five days ago.
Both were arrested for the first time in early September.
Speaker of Parliament Jacob Oulanyah asked the government to explain the circumstances under which the two opposition MPs were re-arrested.
