Besigye’s trial at the GMC fails to takeoff.

03 February 2025
Veteran politician Dr. Kiiza Besigye and his co-accused Obeid Lutale have not been produced before the General Court Martial as expected.
Besigye and Lutale are accused of security related offenses , being in possession of ammunition, firearms and treachery.
They were meant to appear before the army court for continuation of their case after it had been adjourned last month.
However , the Supreme Court last week ruled that trial of civilians in the army court should be halted.
Besigye was expected to be produced before the court today but he was not produced with no activity ongoing at the Makindye based court. Instead army officers were seen patroling the streets of Makindye, a Kampala suburb.
Earlier, Besigye’s Lawyer Erias Lukwago said the case against Dr. Besigye and Lutale should not proceed saying his trial there would be illegal.
