UNAID chief alleges opposition husband Bisigye held at Ugandan military jail
The wife of Ugandan opposition leader Dr. Kizza Besigye says her husband was kidnapped in Kenya and is being held at a military jail in Kampala. The story broke early Wednesday morning local time, and we have not been able to reach Uganda authorities for confirmation. However, Winnie Byanyima, who is also executive director of the United Nations AIDS agency (UNAIDS) says her husband went missing on Saturday in Nairobi where he had gone to attend a book launch by Kenyan opposition leader Martha Karua. Byanyima tells VOA’s James Butty, the family is demanding to see Dr. Besigye.
