We must all be angry with how the state is treating Dr Kizza Besigye and how it continues to treat all its political opponents. This is not normal!

Obviously @kizzabesigye1 & Obeid Lutale refusing to go to court b'se of Justice Emmanuel Baguma's arrogance unfairness and irregular orders is an indictment on Baguma, in fact a slap on his face. Baguma must become a judge or quit.

During the court session, Cpt Dennis Olao addressed court and also raised issues around Prisons authorities. He stated that these have denied him access to his co-accused in order for them to discuss issues pertaining their trial.
He went ahead to ask court how a fair hearing would be achieved with all the violations occasioned to them as the accused.

Dr. Besigye and Hajji Obeid Lutale return to court today for commencement of hearing of their case.
Important to note, Dr.Besigye's legal team was yesterday denied entry of evidence material that was supposed to be reviewed together with the accused.
@UgandaPrisons cited that the court order only granted exclusive access of the accused on weekends and public holidays.

Today @kizzabesigye1 and his aide Haj Obeid Lutale Kamulegeya return to the High Court to face judge Emmanuel Baguma in a treason and misprision of treason case. Baguma wants the state to begin producing witnesses today. You all know that Besigye was convicted before trial. Museveni's son even suggested, he would be hanged on a tree he had already identified. The formal drills that should end with hanging begin today.

[Nyanjura Doreen Omutatina @DoreenNyanjura]

Injustice Emmanuel Baguma declared at the last @kizzabesigye1 court sitting that only the elderly, VIPs, and relatives of the accused could enter the court premises, citing "limited space."

Baguma’s directive ironically followed a complaint by the defense team regarding state agents blocking, beating, and arresting supporters trying to access the premises. While the judge creates an excuse of “limited space”, state informers conveniently pack the courtroom , leaving virtually no space for Besigye loyalists.

The contrast in Uganda's judicial system is alarming. When Okello, a universally detested murderer of juveniles in Kasanga stood trial, the state magically found room for over two thousand angry citizens to witness justice. Yet for Dr. Kizza Besigye, a celebrated, treasured, and highly respected national political figure, the state suddenly suffers from a severe allergic reaction to transparency, proving that the court is not actually short on space, but desperately short on the courage to let justice be seen.

N.B Besigye & Lutale are set to return to court today.

Gov't is suspending the paying of medical interns because it can't find Ugx 24,000,000,000 to pay them

This current FY 2025/26, President M7 has a Donations budget of Ugx 60,000,000,000
Enough to pay medical interns for 2.5 years.

Colleagues, money is there

BREAKING: Trump administration claims the Somali referee was denied entry because he is a security threat to the US with links to suspected terrorists. He was questioned for 11 hours, including about Al Shabab

It's disgusting. @Kasuku256 is a disgrace. It's absolutely not acceptable. Not different from the very thugs who killed Sydney.

[PK Snr @wa_Kabwohe]

We must push back against the likes of Kasuku. Yesterday, I saw a clip of about 51 seconds. In the same, Kasuku was lamenting Sydeny's passing, but seemed too excited and eager to talk about Sydney's partner and mother of their child in ways that I found shocking. 1/6

HAVE YOU SEEN THIS? That's what @kizzabesigye1 and Obeid Lutale have endured before Judge Emmanuel Baguma. Besigye must have had enough. Boldly, Besigye gestures to @EriasLukwago, 'Stop It. Enough. Let Baguma do whatever he wants'. Is that Justice?

[Nyanjura Doreen Omutatina @DoreenNyanjura]

Justice Baguma Emmanuel is a blatant mockery of a fair trial. Ordering the first witness in the Besigye-Lutale treason case to appear on June 8, 2026, without a preliminary hearing or providing assessor details violates standard legal procedures!

The math simply does not add up. If @kizzabesigye1’s attorneys pleaded that seven days were too short for them to review 800 pages of evidence and seven hours of audio, how can a mere two days (Including today’s public holiday) be sufficient? 

Worse still, the accused remain completely blind to the evidence submitted against them by the state since a flash drive containing the alleged evidence  was blocked from accessing to Luzira Prison where the accused are detained.

Dear Mr Baguma, a judge's duty is to ensure justice, not to spend valuable court time quarrelling with defense lawyers while trampling on the right to a fair hearing.
