Ugandan opposition figure, Dr. Kizza Besigye, has refused to attend the opening session of his treason trial, citing concerns over judicial impartiality.
Besigye, a long-time challenger of President Yoweri Museveni, accused the presiding judge of bias, prompting his decision to boycott the proceedings. His stance has once again brought attention to the country's political climate, where opposition leaders often face legal and political hurdles.
The development has sparked renewed debate about the independence of Uganda's judiciary and the broader challenges faced by political dissenters in the East African nation.
