Where Power Defines Liberty: The Kizza Besigye Case
By Wilfred Arinda Nshekantebirwe For twelve uninterrupted months, veteran opposition leader Dr. Kizza Besigye and his aide, Hajj Obeid Lutale, have remained in detention on treason charges whose substance has yet to be tested in open court.

And when he said on 29th January, 1986, that: "Nobody should think that what is happening today is a mere change […]
