Kizza Besigye was abducted in Kenya in November 2024 and later resurfaced in Uganda, where he was charged with treason.

Jailed Ugandan opposition leader Kizza Besigye was taken to hospital again on Wednesday after collapsing in court, his wife said.

Besigye, 70, was once the personal doctor of President Yoweri Museveni, who has ruled Uganda for more than four decades, before becoming one of his most prominent political rivals.

He was abducted in neighbouring Kenya in November 2024 and later resurfaced in Uganda, where he was charged with treason over an alleged plot against Museveni.
