Former Kampala Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago has been moved to Mulago National Referral Hospital for specialised treatment. His lawyers say his condition is worrying and he urgently needs care in India, while Prisons Service says he is sick but not in critical condition.
Health Minister Dr Chris Baryomunsi has visited Dr Kizza Besigye at Mulago National Referral Hospital and reported that the veteran opposition leader is steadily recovering. Besigye has been in detention for nearly two years.
A prisons officer has informed the High Court that Dr Kizza Besigye remains admitted at Mulago Hospital and cannot appear for his treason trial. The defence has asked that a medical doctor present the health report instead.
Dr Moses Mukose has been released on police bond after spending more than 20 hours in custody. He was arrested at Mulago National Referral Hospital for allegedly wandering on the VIP floor where Dr Kizza Besigye is admitted under tight security.
