00:00Opposition leader Kiza Bisajay is reportedly in intensive care after his condition dramatically
00:06worsened in custody.
00:08His wife says the 70-year-old is now in critical condition at Malago Hospital in Kampala, with
00:15medical sources describing him as unresponsive.
00:19Bisajay has been detained while facing treason charges over an alleged plot against President
00:23I found him lying there asleep, but he's very drained, he looked very weak.
00:35He remained asleep for a long time.
00:39When he could open his eyes, he still cannot talk, he cannot talk, he just shakes his head
00:48and shakes his hands.
00:49I have not come to ask for sympathy, no, I've come to insist calmly but firmly that Dr.
01:04Kiza Bisajay is entitled to every right and protection guaranteed by the Constitution of Uganda.
01:14Nothing more, nothing less.
01:17That is his right as it is for every other Ugandan.
01:22So I'm not asking for favours, I'm not asking anyone to bend the law.
01:28I'm simply asking that the Constitution of Uganda is respected.
01:37A long time rival of Museveni, Bisajay has faced government pressure for more than two decades.
01:43After being abducted in Kenya in 2024, he resurfaced in Uganda to face trial.
01:49As concerns grow over his health, the UN has blasted a wider crackdown in Uganda on dissent.
01:56Thank you very much.
01:56Yes I do.
01:58I do.
01:58And I'll see you next time also says,
