A man named Bobi Wine went to visit Dr. Kizza Besigye in prison on Monday. He brought some friends from his political party with him. The prison guards told them they could not see Dr. Besigye because he felt very weak. Dr. Besigye needed help to sit up in bed.
Dr. Besigye stopped eating his food after the government kept him in prison. The biggest court in Uganda said people like Dr. Besigye should not be in a military prison, but the government did not let him leave. Dr. Besigye has not eaten since last Wednesday, which makes him weaker each day.
Last Friday, Dr. Besigye went to another court. People saw him looking tired and having trouble breathing. Even though Bobi Wine could not meet Dr. Besigye, the prison guards shared a message from him. Dr. Besigye wanted everyone to keep fighting for people stuck in prison unfairly.
On Sunday, Dr. Besigye became very sick. The prison guards took him to a hospital in Bugolobi for help. After the doctors helped him, they brought him back to prison. A government minister named Dr. Chris Baryomunsi visited Dr. Besigye that day. He said Dr. Besigye felt weak but would be fine. He asked Dr. Besigye to start eating again.
People understand the big court's decision in different ways. Some lawyers think everyone in military prison should go home right away. The person in charge of prisons wants another important person to tell him what to do. A minister named Norbert Mao said the court wants these cases moved to regular courts instead of military courts. The government keeps thinking about what to do next.
