Ugandan opposition leader Dr. Kizza Besigye and Hajji Obeid Lutale face new treason charges in a military court.

Dr. Kizza Besigye and Hajji Obeid Lutale face new charges of treachery in Uganda's General Court Martial, adding to their previous charges of illegal possession of firearms and ammunition allegedly committed abroad. The court's access has improved for lawyers and supporters, though heavy security remains. The case challenges the court's jurisdiction over foreign offenses and the trial of civilians. Prosecutors allege the pair discussed military targets in Uganda during meetings in Kenya, Greece, and Switzerland.
