Besigye Abducted in Nairobi After Karua's Book Launch, Faces Military Court Martial in Kampala
Nov 20, 2024, 05:45 AM
Dr. Kizza Besigye, a prominent Ugandan opposition leader, was reportedly kidnapped in Nairobi, Kenya, where he had attended the book launch of former Kenyan Justice Martha Karua. His wife, Winnie Byanyima, a top UN official, alleges that he is now being held in military detention in Kampala, Uganda. The family of Besigye has demanded his immediate release, and his political allies have indicated that he is scheduled to appear before a military court martial at 11am. The incident has raised concerns about foreign intelligence operations in Kenya, with some questioning the involvement of both Kenyan authorities and Museveni's son, who is Uganda's defense chief, in the abduction.
