The People’s Front for Freedom (PFF) has commemorated one year since the arrest of Dr. Kizza Besigye and announced a week of prayer for all political prisoners in Uganda.
Besigye was arrested on November 16, 2024, in Nairobi, Kenya, alongside his aide, Obeid Lutale, and was later transferred to Luzira Maximum Security Prison in Uganda.
He faces charges of possessing an illegal firearm and treason, which his lawyers claim are politically motivated.
Addressing journalists at the Katonga PFF headquarters, Erias Lukwago, PFF Acting President, accompanied by other party leaders, announced the week of prayers for all peace-loving Ugandans, including presidential candidates. Mr. Lukwago speaking….
Lukwago criticized the judiciary for lacking fairness in Besigye’s legal battles. While the Supreme Court previously ruled that the General Court Martial was unconstitutional, transferring the case to a civilian court, multiple applications for Besigye’s constitutional rights have been denied. END.
