Former FDC president and Uganda's opposition leader,Dr Kiiza
Besigye, Kampala city Lord Mayor and Ingrid Turinawe have been
arrested in western Uganda where Uganda's national independence
celebrations are being held. They were arrested after they
worked out of the celebrations in protest to Ofwono Opondo’s
comments that the People of Rukungiri requested that the celebration
be held in their district in order to recommit their faith in
President Museveni and the NRM.
Lukwago’s Facebook wall read as follows “We are still in
detention in a police van parked in the compound of Dr. Besigye’s
home in Rukungiri”
Besigye’s appearence at the celebrations had raised speculation
among the public that he could be a probable recipient of a medal.
