“Ugandan opposition leader Dr. Kizza Besigye, 69, detained in Luzira Maximum Security Prison on treason charges is in critical condition. He recently missed a court appearance due to illness, prompting the High Court in Kampala to adjourn his trial to Oct 1” (theHub TV, 08.09.2025).
Again, we are worried about the health and the state of Dr. Kizza Besigye. A man who has soon been over 300 days behind bars. The state plans to keep him behind bar 316 days on the 1st October 2025. They have kept him detained since 20th November 2024. That’s what the state has done without a proper trial or due process. No, this man is a political prisoner and a prisoner of conscience, which happened to be kidnapped and apprehended in Kenya.
So, this man is in trouble and in jeopardy. It isn’t that long ago that the prisoner and civilian was going on hunger strike. As the state wasn’t moving the case and doing it righteous. That’s why he did so as the only way to signal the needs for justice.
Dr. Kizza Besigye are a sign of the grim times, as his been a vocal dissident and opposition leader daring to challenge the regime. That’s why they are keeping him behind bars. Even when they have no case or no evidence of the criminal conspiracy or even supposed crimes that he was committed to do. If the state had any or was serious about the case. They wouldn’t have deferred it and been so lenient about issuing adjournment of it at any time.
The ones that believes this case is sincere. Then the state would have done it and showed their evidence. The state would have produced the witnesses and proven their case. Instead, they are just moving the case around and never making it happen. All to have excuses and reasons to keep him detained.
Dr. Kizza Besigye is a victim of his of work. Besigye’s own work ethic and activism is the reason for his arrest. His stances and ways of organizing is the reason why his behind bars. It isn’t a conspiracy, but a fact. That’s why the state and the authorities are barring him from ordinary life. Just to signal the Republic what it does to its detractors and what it does vocal dissidents. Peace.
