    "content": "(a) Following the Kampala terrorist bombings on 11th July, 2010 where 76 people were killed and 96 others seriously injured, the following Kenyans were arrested in connection with the crime: Hussein Hassan Agade, Mohammed Aden Abdul, Idris Magondu aka Christopher, Mohammed Halid Sulmin, Hayha Sulmin Budhia, Seif Halid Sulmin Njoroge, Seden Omar, Hawa Omar, Al Amin Kimathi. Officials from the Kenyan Mission to Uganda made a first visit to Luzira Maximum Security Prison and Luzira Women Prison on 16th and 17th August, 2010 to check on the condition and welfare of the terrorist suspects and other Kenyans held in the two prisons. Again, on Tuesday, 21st March, 2011, the High Commissioner visited the suspects at Luzira Maximum Security Prison. The status of the case as of now is as follows: The suspects are being committed to stand trial at the High Court of Uganda and are facing three counts of terrorism, 75 counts of murder and nine counts of attempted murder. According to the Ugandan Constitution of 1995, Article 23(6) (a) and (b) the offences are bailable. However, the accused are yet to take a plea and the actual date of the commencement of the trial has not been fixed. It is worthwhile to mention here that if the suspects are convicted for any one of these counts, they will face the death sentence."
