The Gulu High Court is to rule on a no-case submission made by the defence lawyers of former Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) Commander Thomas Kwoyelo alias Latoni who is facing charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity, including rape, murder and recruitment of child soldiers between 1992 and 2005.

A no-case-to-answer submission is made when the defence considers that the prosecution case does not support a finding of guilt and that the court should dismiss the charge without the defence having to present a case.

Kwoyelo has been in detention since 2009.
