Besigye and Lutale’s Treason Case Adjourned to April 30, 2025

The Nakawa Chief Magistrate’s Court has adjourned the hearing of Dr. Kizza Besigye and Hajj Obeid Lutale’s case to April 30, 2025, at 10:00 AM. The state is seeking authorization to access and extract data from their mobile phones as part of ongoing investigations into treason charges.

Background of the Case
Dr. Besigye, a veteran opposition leader, and Lutale, his aide, are accused of plotting to overthrow the Ugandan government by force, along with UPDF officer Captain Denis Oola. The allegations include attending meetings in countries like Geneva, Athens, and Nairobi to further their plot.

Reasons for Adjournment
The adjournment allows the court to further consider the state’s application for phone data access. This development comes after the trio’s remand to Luzira prison until April 30, 2025. The court’s decision will determine whether the state can access the phone data, potentially impacting the case’s trajectory.

Charges and Implications
The treason charges against Dr. Besigye, Lutale, and Captain Oola are serious, carrying significant penalties. The alternative charge of misprision of treason alleges that the accused knew of another person’s intent to commit treason but failed to report it to authorities.

What’s Next?
The case will resume on April 30, 2025, at 10:00 AM, with the court’s decision on the state’s application for phone data access expected to shape the trial’s outcome.
