Renowned political activist and four-time presidential candidate in Uganda, Rtd Col. Dr. Kizza Besigye, has been missing for four days following his alleged abduction in Kenya, where he was attending a book launch for Hon. Martha Karua.
Dr. Besigye’s wife, Winnie Byanyima, who serves as the Executive Director of UNAIDS, has reported that she received credible information indicating that her husband is being held in military detention in Kampala.
Reports suggest that Besigye will be brought before a Court Martial later this week.
A team of lawyers and officials from the People’s Front for Freedom-Katonga, led by interim President Erias Lukwago, is already present at the Court Martial in Makindye, anticipating his appearance.
