Dr. Kizza Besigye’s treason trial will continue despite his objections regarding state legal representation. The High Court Criminal Division, presided over by Justice Emmanuel Baguma, rejected requests to halt proceedings. Besigye, along with Hajji Obeid Lutale and a retired individual, faces treason charges. The dispute arose from Besigye’s challenge to the lawyers representing the state, causing dramatic scenes in court. Justice Baguma, however, ruled that the trial should proceed as scheduled. This decision allows the prosecution to move forward with its case against the opposition politician and his co-accused. The case highlights ongoing political tensions and legal battles within Uganda.
