Besigye and Lutale Back in Court Amid Byanyima’s Justice Appeal

Uganda’s opposition leader Kizza Besigye and his co-accused, political activist Obed (Obeid) Lutale, are expected to return to court.

This will mark the fourth time they will be in court to seek bail.

According to reports, the duo have been on remand for about a year.

Their repeated bail attempts have so far failed, with previous hearings ending in objections from state prosecutors.

Reports indicate that lawyers argue that both men meet legal requirements for temporary release pending trial, pointing to their age and length of detention.

Kizza Besigye alongside Lutale faced numerous arrests and treason charges over two decades of political contest.
