💨 Abstract

A prominent opposition leader, Kizza Besigye, in Uganda is on a hunger strike while being tried in a military tribunal, despite a Supreme Court ruling banning courts-martial from trying civilians. President Museveni has stated his government will continue to prosecute civilians in military courts. Besigye's wife, Winnie Byanyima, claims he is being illegally detained and his spirit is unbroken.
