\u201cThe information that he is sick is from the lawyers, and I do not answer to the lawyers. They say he is sick, that he is going to die in prison\u2026 if he were to die, he would be long dead.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Concerns about Besigye\u2019s health resurfaced last week when his lawyers, led by Kampala Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago, reported that the opposition figure was weak and immobile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt is sad Besigye is not here,\u201d Lukwago told reporters. \u201cWhen we went to visit him, he was in a room and couldn\u2019t leave. He is not well. Hajji Obeid Lutale told us he is experiencing dizziness, and by evening yesterday, no one could see him. Let us pray that he gets better.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Baine also dismissed claims that Besigye\u2019s visitation rights had been curtailed. \u201cThe claim that his visitation has been restricted is also a lie because even last Friday, he was visited,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The conflicting accounts have left the public questioning the true state of Besigye\u2019s health. While his lawyers paint a picture of a deteriorating condition, prison authorities maintain he remains under proper care.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u201cIf Dr. Besigye dies in prison (God forbid), it will mark the beginning of the real revolution,\u201d one supporter, Gideon Kwikiriza, posted online.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":190,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"right-sidebar","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"normal-width-container","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"disabled","ast-banner-title-visibility":"disabled","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"disabled","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[27],"class_list":["post-189","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-leadership-growth","tag-politics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gugudde.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/189","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gugudde.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gugudde.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gugudde.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gugudde.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=189"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/gugudde.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/189\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":193,"href":"https:\/\/gugudde.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/189\/revisions\/193"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gugudde.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/190"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gugudde.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=189"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gugudde.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=189"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gugudde.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=189"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/gugudde.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-09-11-at-09.53.48_a2a64997-1.jpg\")
