A government leader named Dr. Chris Baryomunsi went to visit Dr. Kizza Besigye in prison. Dr. Besigye's wife, Winnie Byanyima, became very angry about this visit. She said Baryomunsi was being mean to her husband and shouldn't have come.
Baryomunsi wrote a letter telling everyone why he visited. He saw Dr. Besigye looking very sick when he went to court on February 12. He wanted to check if Dr. Besigye was feeling better. The doctors let Dr. Besigye go to a special hospital on Sunday. His sister, who works as a doctor, helped plan this visit.
When Baryomunsi went to the prison, he found Dr. Besigye lying in bed. Dr. Besigye felt weak because he didn't want to eat any food. Baryomunsi asked him to please start eating again.
Many people became upset and went into the streets of Kampala on Monday. They wanted the government to let Dr. Besigye leave prison. The police caught some people who were trying to make others join these street protests.
Baryomunsi talked about moving Dr. Besigye's case from the army court to a normal court. He promised this would happen soon. He asked everyone to stay calm and wait.
Dr. Besigye's family doesn't believe what Baryomunsi says. His wife thinks Baryomunsi only pretends to care. She wants her husband to be free instead of staying in prison. Many people feel worried about Dr. Besigye's health and want him to come home.
