Leaders of Uganda's strongest opposition political party, Forum for Democratic Change (FDC), have embarked on mobilising supporters to demand for immediate unconditional release of Besigye.

Besigye, according to High Court, was sent to Luzira maximum prison after he allegedly swon in himself as Uganda president, and he is expected back to court on June 1.

However, Ssemujju Nganda told the media yesterday that as FDC the can not sit back and watch as their presidential candidate is being detained for no good reason.

"We ask all the FDC leaders first of all to go and visit him in Luzira and all the supporters. But also on the day that he will come to court (June 1), we want to ask all our supporters to go and attend this court," Seemujju said, adding that those who can not can wait for him on the road .

He also defied the Public Order and Management Act by saying that the supporters can also line up with Besigye T-shirts of poster and then line up the road from Luzira and then they see if even lining up is a crime in Uganda now.

However, Police spokesperson Fred Enanga, cautioned FDC leaders the act, saying that they have to notify police officially if their supporters are to be allowed to even attend court in large numbers.

According to Enanga, the Public Order Management Act is very clear on illegal assemblies, adding that whoever shows up to demand for the release of Besigye will have committed an offence, which will lead to their arrest.

BESIGYE'S VISITORS RESTRICTED

Meanwhile, the number of visitors to Col Besigye has been restricted by the prison's management which said that it's too high and fails other activities.

The prison's Spokesperson, Frank Mboine said that they now only want about 20 visitors a day, contrary to the 60 Besigye has been getting.

"When such volumes of visitors come, it means the prison will not Cook because other prisoners have to get visitors too, and there is not such enough staff to handle visiors to 4000 inmates daily, and again prepare food," Mboine said.
