People's Liberation Party leader Martha Karua has landed at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) after Uganda deported her from Entebbe, citing unspecified "security reasons."

Karua had travelled on Monday, June 22, aboard a Kenya Airways flight to attend bail proceedings for jailed Ugandan lawyer and politician Erias Lukwago, who is charged with misprision of treason.

She also serves as lead counsel in the treason case facing opposition leader Kizza Besigye and his co-accused, Hajji Obeid Lutale.
