In November 2024, Ugandan Opposition politician Kizza Besigye was abducted in Kenya and returned to Uganda where he is facing treason charges. In my conversation with his wife Winnie Byanyima, she talks about his health, his work in human rights, and the state of human rights in Uganda. Besigye was, at one time, the personal doctor of Uganda’s President Yoweri Museveni who has ruled Uganda for 40 years now. During this period, the country’s human rights situation has deteriorated.
