Dr. Kizza Besigye sent Easter wishes from Luzira Maximum Security Prison. He thanked Ugandans for their support during his five months behind bars and expressed gratitude for the moral, material, and spiritual help he received throughout his time in detention facilities. He stays with his political friend, Hajj Obeid Lutale, both finding peace despite their difficult situation.

They credit God for giving them strength during imprisonment. Besigye sees prison as more than punishment - he views it as a place for meditation, spiritual growth. The former presidential candidate also spent Christmas locked up last year. Officials arrested him in Kenya, brought him to Uganda, and initially charged him with illegal firearms possession. The Supreme Court later ruled that military courts cannot try civilians.

The case moved to the High Court, where both men face treason charges. They claim these accusations are false. The court has refused to grant them bail. Despite everything, Besigye remains thankful to supporters who have stood with him through this ordeal.
