Hundreds of supporters of detained Ugandan opposition figure, Kizza Besigye are continuing to hold a defiant prayer services in an effort to force authorities to free him. The 69-year-old politician made a brief appearance at the High Court in Kampala earlier today, where defence lawyers argued that prosecutors had made only a partial disclosure of evidence, preventing the court from setting a trial date. Besigye was arrested in November 2024 after being taken from Kenya and brought before a military court on charges including unlawful possession of firearms. The case was later transferred to a civilian court. For more on what the state of the political leader's health is, Tsepiso Makwetla spoke to his wife and UNAIDS director, Winnie Byanyima
