Winnie Byanyima, the wife of detained Ugandan opposition leader Kizza Besigye, recently sat down with VOA where she maintained that her husband is innocent of treason charges that were leveled after he was incarcerated in November. The charges against him included the possession of illegal weapons and treachery in a military court. Besigye was later tried in a magistrate’s court after the nation’s Supreme Court passed a ruling which said civilians cannot be tried in a military court.
