Veteran Ugandan opposition leader Kizza Besigye has been admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) in Kampala after collapsing in court during his treason trial. His wife stated he is unconscious and unresponsive.

• Kizza Besigye, a prominent opposition figure who has challenged President Yoweri Museveni multiple times, fell while objecting to his legal representation.
• Besigye has been in detention since November 2024 on treason charges, which he denies.
• His wife, Winnie Byanyima, who heads UNAIDS, has demanded he receive treatment from his personal physician at a private clinic, not a government facility.
