Uganda’s opposition figure Kizza Besigye kidnapped in Nairobi

Uganda’s opposition figure Kizza Besigye kidnapped in Nairobi

The wife of Ugandan opposition figure Kizza Besigye says he has been kidn@pped in neighbouring Kenya and is now being held in a military jail back home.

In a post on X, Winnie Byanyima wrote that her husband had been seized in Kenya’s capital Nairobi last Saturday during a book launch event.

“I am now reliably informed that he is in a military jail in Kampala,” she said, demanding that the government of Uganda release her husband.

Army spokesperson Felix Kulayigye told the Uganda Radio Network agency that he would be arraigned at a court later.

He did not expressly state if the military was holding him.

BBC News has asked the Ugandan government for comment.

Uganda’s Daily Monitor newspaper reported that senior members of his Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) party had gathered at Makindye military court in Kampala, expecting him to appear there.

Besigye, 68, led the FDC, contesting and losing four presidential elections against incumbent Yoweri Museveni, who has been in power since 1986.

“We his family and his lawyers demand to see him,” his wife wrote on X.

“He is not a soldier. Why is he being held in a military jail?”

Ms Byanyima is a human rights advocate and executive director of Unaids, the joint UN programme set up to eradicate Aids.

Besigye used to be Museveni’s personal doctor but went on to become an opposition leader and has referred to the leader of the east African country as a “dictator”.

He has alleged that previous presidential elections were rigged – a claim denied by the government.

The opposition figure has been arrested on numerous occasions in the past.

On one occasion he was shot in the hand, on another he suffered eye inj_ries after being doused in pepper spray.

The authorities have accused him of provoking them, and he has been charged with inciting vi0lence.
