Dr. Kiiza Besigye has been remanded back to Luzira Prison until March 28, 2025, when the court will resume hearing his case. This development comes after Besigye’s lawyers filed a habeas corpus application seeking his unconditional release from prison.
Besigye’s health has been a concern, with reports indicating that he appeared weak and dehydrated during a recent court appearance ². The government has since reassured the public about his health, stating that he will receive medical treatment in a hospital of his choice.
The case against Besigye and his co-accused, Hajj Obeid Lutale, has been transferred from the General Court Martial to a civilian court, following a Supreme Court ruling that declared the trial of civilians in military courts illegal.
