More than 100 revellers were yesterday arraigned in court and charged with defying curfew hours after they were arrested on Sunday while allegedly watching and participating in a strip dance at a city hotel.
The group was arraigned before Nateete/Rubaga Magistrate’s Court and charged with two offences of disobedience of curfew hours and of doing an act likely to spread a disease.
Prosecution contends that the suspects were on July 11 found gathered at New Best Hotel in Busega, a Kampala suburb, past the curfew time of 7pm.
Most of the suspects pleaded guilty to the charges and court sentenced each of them to a fine of Shs100,000 or 14 days in prison.
By press time, most of the convicts had opted to pay a fine of Shs100,000 to regain their freedom.
However, those below 20 years were cautioned and set free.
