On June 4, 1974, the tribunal sat for the second time, according to the records available.
Lt Col Aseni had just returned from exile from Congo, and as soon as he returned, he was arrested and court marshalled.
He was accused of treason and therefore would be
hanged if convicted. But the soldiers had resolved that in the event
that he was sentenced to death, they would organise for another coup.
Amin got that military intelligence and secretly told Col Mwaka,
chairman of the military tribunal, to alter the judgment and exonerate
Aseni of all charges.
Aseni was, therefore, released and was later appointed to the USSR as Uganda’s ambassador.
He died in battle in 1980 near Bondo, Arua, in the war against Tanzanians and Ugandan forces that had ousted Amin a year earlier.
