Uganda: Besigye acquitted of rape charge
08.03.2006
Not guilty is the verdict. One down, three to go. Dr Kizza Besigye was the loser on the February 23rd elections in Uganda, but he emerged victor in the High Court, after Justice John Bosco Katutsi acquitted him of the charge of rape. The High Court decided there was no merit in Joan Kyakuwa's case, and consequently dismissed it. It provides some respite for Kizza Besigye, who still has three cases pending; of treason, concealment of treason and another of illegal possession of firearms.
