Besigye seeks bail
Late last week, he and his co-accused, Obeid Lutale applied for bail in the High Court Criminal Division.
Both Lutaale and Besigye aged 68 argued in their joint application that they are law-abiding citizens of advanced age facing charges of treason and misprison which are bailable by the High Court.
