Dr. Lina Zedriga, the NUP Deputy President for Northern Uganda, has been granted bail by the Gulu Chief Magistrate Court. She was released after the court set a cash bail of 1 million shillings and non-cash bail of 10 million shillings through her sureties.
The court’s decision comes after her recent arrest, which sparked interest and attention from both her supporters and the wider public. Details about the case leading to her arrest are still emerging, but her release on bail allows her to resume her activities while awaiting further court proceedings.
Party members and supporters of Dr. Zedriga have welcomed the court’s decision, describing it as a step towards ensuring fairness and the right to freedom pending trial. Legal experts note that the bail conditions, including the combination of cash and non-cash sureties, are standard measures to ensure that the accused remains available for trial.
Dr. Zedriga’s release is expected to bring relief to her supporters in Northern Uganda, where she plays a key role in political activities and advocacy for the region. The case, however, remains under investigation, and the court has scheduled further hearings to determine the next steps.
