Ugandan opposition leader Kizza Besigye, 69, was moved from prison to a Kampala hospital Jan. 19, 2026, amid concerns over his health and treatment.
Ugandan opposition leader Dr. Kizza Besigye, 69, was transferred from Luzira Prison to a Kampala medical facility on January 19, 2026, amid reports of a critical health decline, according to his party, the People's Front for Freedom.
The group accused prison authorities of denying him proper medical care and demanded immediate access for his doctors and family.
Besigye, detained since November 2024 on treason charges linked to an alleged plot to overthrow the government, has faced repeated bail denials and is widely viewed by critics as a political prisoner.
While prison officials claimed he underwent a routine checkup and was seen exercising the next day, his party and human rights advocates continue to raise concerns over his deteriorating condition and the fairness of his treatment.
