Dorothy Asio, a student of Kyambogo University and one of the suspects arrested during the East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP) protest at Parliament on August 31, 2026, has reportedly collapsed in the dock at Buganda Road Court.
Asio was appearing alongside other accused persons for the hearing of their bail application when the incident occurred.
Reports indicate that she has been on a hunger strike, protesting delays in the disposal of their case. Her condition prompted concern in court as proceedings unfolded.
The group was arrested during demonstrations against the EACOP project and has since been facing charges stemming from the protest.
