Uganda’s former Member of Parliament (MP) in the Bubulo Constituency, Tonny Nsubuga Kipoi, who is held in custody by Botswana Police Service (BPS), is threatening to sue the Botswana government over “unlawful detention and possible expatriation to Uganda”.

Kipoi, a refugee who fled his country fearing political persecution after he was charged with treason back in 2010, is currently detained at Urban Police Station in Gaborone following his arrest by the police in Tlokweng on October 15, 2020.

In a letter dated October 19, 2020, through JJ Matomela Attorneys addressed to Botswana Police Commissioner through his attorneys, Kipoi said he intends to sue the Attorney General, Director of Public Prosecutions, Commissioner of Police and the Director of Immigration if he is not released from custody.
