Breaking Political News Uganda: Prominent Ugandan opposition leader Dr. Kizza Besigye is expected to appear at the Makindye Military Court today following allegations of his abduction from Nairobi, Kenya, last weekend.

The incident has sparked widespread condemnation and calls for his immediate release under the trending hashtag #FreeDrKizzaBesigye.

Alleged Abduction Sparks International Outrage

Reports indicate that Dr. Kizza Besigye was allegedly kidnapped while attending a book launch in Nairobi and forcibly brought to Uganda, where he is reportedly being held in a military detention facility.

This development has raised questions about human rights violations and the role of Kenya in the process.

Winnie Byanyima, wife of Dr. Besigye, expressed her distress in a tweet, demanding answers and action:

“He was kidnapped last Saturday while in Nairobi for Hon Martha Karua’s book launch. I am now reliably informed that he is in a military jail in Kampala. He is not a soldier. Why is he being held in a military jail?”

Opposition Leaders Condemn the Arrest

Numerous opposition figures have decried the situation, emphasizing its implications for democracy and human rights in Uganda.

NUP Secretary General David Lewis Rubongoya tweeted:

“If a man at his level can be abducted from Kenya and kept under military detention, imagine what happens daily to ordinary citizens. The cry for freedom and democracy gets ever more urgent.”

Leader of Opposition Joel Ssenyonyi also voiced concerns:

“Reports indicate that Dr. Kizza Besigye was abducted in Nairobi, brought to Uganda, and placed under military detention. It’s absurd that Kenya is becoming an accomplice in the committing of illegalities against Ugandans.”

Public Figures and Activists Join the Call

Public figures and activists have joined the call for Dr. Besigye’s immediate release, accusing Kenyan authorities of complicity in the abduction.

Author and activist Kakwenza Rukirabashaija tweeted:

“Despot @WilliamsRuto I’m giving you a week to explain why you continue to allow @KagutaMuseveni’s madness to operate in Kenya. #FreeBesigye.”

Hon Nyeko Derrick added:

“The unfortunate incident of Dr. Kiiza Besigye being abducted in Nairobi deeply saddens us. We urgently plead for his prompt release!”

Cry for Justice

The detention of Dr. Kizza Besigye in a military facility has sparked debates about the erosion of human rights in Uganda.

Calls for his release are growing louder, as political leaders, activists, and family members rally for action.

The real fact behind the abduction and detaining Dr. Kizza Besigye by Ugandan security forces is yet revealed.
