Ugandan Opposition Leader Besigye Faces Military Court After Kenya 'Kidnapping'

Ugandan opposition leader Kizza Besigye has been charged in a military court in Kampala with illegal possession of firearms and negotiating to buy arms abroad, following his alleged kidnapping from Kenya. His wife, Winnie Byanyima, claims he was seized in Nairobi and returned to Uganda, where he is being held in a military jail. Besigye, a long-time critic of President Yoweri Museveni, has contested multiple presidential elections and faced numerous arrests. His case has raised concerns about forced deportations in Kenya, once seen as a safe haven for refugees.
