A combination of military and regular police are still surrounded the home of the leader of opposition in Uganda, Dr. Kizza Besigye.

By the time our reporters visited Kasangati village, a police vehicle was packed outside the gate of Besigye’s home. Yesterday the police towed Besigye’s vehicle to Kasangati police station only to discover that it was his wife, Winnie Byanyima who was travelling to Entebbe International Airport to catch a flight to USA.

Besigye has told Ultimate Media’s Walakira Nyanzi on phone this morning that he is no longer free to move outside his home. He says the police and the army arrests him whenever he moves on foot or travels in a vehicle.

However, Besigye was later in the day able to travel to Najjanankumbi for a meeting at his party’s headquarters.

The president of Forum for Democratic Change also says sometimes the police deny him access to his doctors, markets, office and places of worship.

Several police and army officers are visible at Besigye’s farm, businesses and homes around the country. The police have also barred journalists from taking photographs of soldiers who have surrounded Besigye’s home.

Besigye has been brutally arrested; tear gassed, and shot at more than four times in a period of less than a month. Hundreds of his supporters have been arrested, injured, killed and imprisoned in the due course.
