Winnie Byanyima has demanded accountability as her husband, Ugandan opposition figure Kizza Besigye, marks twelve months in detention following his seizure in Nairobi. The executive director of UNAIDS condemned what she described as systematic rights violations, including military custody and repeated refusal of provisional release despite Supreme Court rulings against civilian prosecution in martial tribunals.

Besigye was taken from Kenya's capital while preparing to attend an event hosted by attorney Martha Karua, who later expressed alarm about his declining physical condition, characterized by dizzy spells and visible weight loss. Legal representatives argued that court proceedings should cease due to his deteriorating health, warning that continuation would constitute further rights abuses. The detained politician faces charges related to unlawful firearms possession and potential treason accusations while remaining confined at Luzira Maximum Security Prison.
