Detained Ugandan opposition politician Kizza Besigye has begun a hunger strike as his time spent in detention awaiting trial nears three months. Besigye, 68, was charged in a military court with possession of pistols and attempting to purchase weapons abroad - accusations which he denies. Besigye's trial was initially postponed until January - it is now unclear when the court case will begin. Lerato Mbele spoke to Oryem Nyeko, Ugandan researcher at the Human Rights Watch and Tapiwa Chadya, afro-expert in Democracy, Governance and Human Rights.
