WHAT DOES THE LAW SAY ABOUT FIGHTING IN PUBLIC. Earlier the better. The source of this story is, online lawyers! i repeat again, this story is written by online lawyers, 24 January 2018.

WHAT LEGAL LESSONS CAN WE LEARN FROM THE FIGHT INVOLVING “MOZE RADIO”?

Moses Ssekibogo most commonly known as ‘Moze Radio’ is alleged to have been involved in a brawl with a bouncer at a club in Entebbe. It is reported that he was beaten up and is now lying in a sensitive condition at one of the renowned clinics in Kampala.

While we empathise with his friends and family concerning his current condition, we think that it is important that people understand the implications and consequences of fighting in public.

WHAT IS THE LEGAL TERM FOR WHEN PEOPLE FIGHT IN PUBLIC:

Under the law in Uganda, fighting in public is called ‘Affray’ and is illegal. The law says that any person who takes part in a fight in a public place could be imprisoned for up to one year.

Both persons will be charged with this offence and may also be liable for damage of property which may have arisen as a result of the fight.

ARE THERE ANY OTHER CHARGES THAT CAN BE BROUGHT AGAINST THOSE INVOLVED:

Other charges include attempted murder as long as the victim is still alive, But if the victim unfortunately passes away even if it happens in hospital, then the charges will go from Attempted Murder to Murder. But again, this depends on the available evidence.

WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF A FIGHT:

If you feel that you are caught in a situation where you are gravely angered by another, it is important to think before you act because many crimes come about as a result of people failing to control their emotions. Try calming the situation and if possible, move away from the scene.

Wealthy Omega Diamonds owner Ehud would be operated on out of office hours. He had been having injections into his penis to make it appear larger. An investigation was swiftly opened into potential manslaughter chargers following his death, though it soon shifted to charges of failing to assist a person in danger, drug offences and practicing medicine without a licence.
