The Chief Magistrate court was forced to adjourn the hearing of Dr. Lina Zedriga, the National Unity Platform (NUP) deputy President over technology flaws.
Dr. Zedriga appeared before the court via zoom technology yesterday morning from her prison cells at Gulu Main Prisons in Gulu City.
She was remanded on the 6th of this month over inciting violence contrary section 79 (1) of the penal code act and consequently remanded to Gulu Main Prison (Female section).
She was however later transferred to Luzira Maximum Prison (Female Section) with Prison officials citing security concerns.
Yesterday morning Dr. Zedriga returned to court however through video conferencing from Gulu Main Prison.
During the session, however the communications kept on being disrupted over poor internet connection.
Submissions by Defence Counsels couldn’t be heard by the accused and nor could the Magistrate in the court get good feedback from the prison section.
