Uganda: Besigye set free in walk-to-work case

Ugandan Opposition leader Kizza Besigye has walked to partial freedom after the Magistrates Court in Kasangati, Wakiso District, acquitted him of charges related to the April walk-to-work demonstrations which at one point almost paralysed the country. The charges which had been preferred against Dr Besigye included alleged rioting after proclamation, incitement to violence, and disobeying lawful orders of a traffic police officer.
