Setback for Besigye defence as lawyers denied laptops, unrestricted access to Luzira prison

The defense team for Kizza Besigye has encountered obstacles in their preparation for his trial. Lawyers were reportedly denied access to laptops and faced restrictions on their visits to Besigye at Luzira prison. These limitations are raising concerns about the ability to maintain advocate-client privilege and adequately prepare for the legal proceedings.

The restrictions could potentially impact the fairness of Besigye's trial by hindering his legal representation's ability to prepare a robust defense.
