Kizza Besigye being arrested

Besigye was arrested in April 2011 while walking to office and charged with rioting after proclamation, incitement to violence, and disobeying lawful orders of a traffic police officer.

In his judgment today, Wetyekere acquitted the walk to work cases against the FDC boss saying that according to his assessment of the case the accused has no case to answer.

The magistrate said the prosecution led by Gladys Nyanzi had failed to adduce enough evidence to warrant Besigye to even defend himself against the accusations.

Besigye says that the rulling Watyekere made is a rear one because members of the judiciary work in influence of the government.

He has thanked Watyekere for his boldness of calling a spade a spade and dismissing what Besigye calls trumped up charges aimed at only wasting his time.
