Dr Kizza Besigye is reportedly In a critical condition unable to cordongble to stand.
Sources in Luzira where the opposition leader is locked up told us that Besigye is too weak and dizzy.
His lawyer, Hajj Erias Lukwago told media that Besigye could not speak well let alone leave his room when they visited him over the weekend.
It was therefore less surprising that he was no-show at the High Court Criminal Division on Monday, where he and co-accused Hajj Obeid Lutale were expected to take plea on charges of treason and misprision of treason.
The session was adjourned to October 1 after both men failed to appear.
“It is sad Besigye is not here,” Lukwago said. “When we went to visit him, he was in a room and couldn’t leave. He is not well. Hajji Obeid Lutale told us he is experiencing dizziness, and by evening yesterday, no one could see him. Let us pray that he gets better.”
Besigye, who was arrested in Nairobi last November and forcibly returned to Uganda, has been in detention ever since.
