"In light of this objective evidence I take the view that the Appellant may well have been arrested in April 2003 because of her low level support for Dr Besigye. However, having been released on condition that she reported to the army camp on a weekly basis she reported only once. Consequently I take the view that the Appellant's subsequent arrest was a result of her failure to report rather than any real suspicion of being a supporter of the Lord Resistance Army. Indeed, I strongly doubt that even an old friend would have released her had been seriously suspected of support for the LRA, given those atrocities".
"The Ugandan Department of Immigration confirmed that only failed asylum seekers who have previously committed a crime in Uganda and are on their wanted list would be arrested on arrival in a country. Someone would not be in prison or simply being to Uganda as a failed asylum seeker".
Decision: The appellant's appeal is dismissed.
