Ugandan opposition leader Kizza Besigye, jailed since his abduction from Kenya in November, is reportedly unwell and in need of urgent medical care, according to his lawyer. Besigye faces military charges, including treachery, despite a supreme court ruling against civilian court-martials. His detention has sparked outrage among supporters and rights groups. The case is closely watched amid political uncertainty ahead of Uganda’s 2026 elections, with President Museveni's future unclear.
