No one is above the law, and all Ugandan citizens, including Nicholas Opiyo @nickopiyo have the right to due process and a fair trial. The EU will continue to follow Opiyo’s case and continue to support Uganda’s progress, underpinned by democracy, human rights and rule of law https://t.co/QvNwVMCqsu
