		Uganda occupies part of a high plateau that averages 915 m (3,000 ft) in the less hilly and lower north and rises to 1,340 m (4,400 ft) near Kampala.

	Uganda Court Probes Military Trial for Opposition Leader (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
		Uganda's Constitutional Court is expected this week to examine whether or not it is legal for prominent opposition politician Kizza Besigye to be tried in a military court.
		Defense lawyers and party supporters argue that it is illegal for a civilian such as Dr. Besigye to be held and tried by a military court, and that he should not face trials in two separate courts to answer essentially the same charges.
		Authorities in Uganda argue that civilians can face military court if they possess illegal firearms or are charged with terrorism, and that the charges lodged against Dr. Besigye are sufficiently different to merit trials in two separate courts.
