High Court Rejects Bail Application for Besigye, Aide Lutale
Kampala — The High Court has dismissed a bail application filed by veteran opposition politician Dr. Kizza Besigye and his aide, Hajj Obeid Lutale.
In a ruling delivered by email, Justice Baguma Emmanuel denied the request for temporary release, effectively keeping the duo in custody as their legal proceedings continue.
Details surrounding the grounds for the court’s decision remain limited, but the ruling marks yet another legal hurdle for Besigye, a four-time presidential candidate and long-time critic of the government.
The pair’s legal team is expected to explore alternative avenues to secure their release as the case progresses.
