The High Court has ordered the Attorney General to respond within 14 days in a case where Ugandan opposition leader Kizza Besigye is suing the Kenyan government over his deportation last year. This ruling came despite objections from Besigye's lawyers, led by Martha Karua, who argued against granting more time.

• Besigye was reportedly forcibly removed from Nairobi in November 2024 and taken to Uganda.
• The Kenyan government could face accountability for violating human rights obligations if the court rules in Besigye's favor.
• Besigye and his ally Obed Lutale face charges in Uganda, including illegal possession of firearms and ammunition, and treachery, with allegations of conspiring to overthrow the Ugandan government between 2023 and 2024.
