Kenyan activist Boniface Mwangi has sounded the alarm, expressing concern that detained Ugandan opposition leader Kizza Besigye may die in prison due to poor medical conditions and torture. Mwangi claims Besigye is critically ill and requires specialized treatment outside of Luzira Maximum Security Prison, where he has been held for over a year.
The activist accuses Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni of human rights abuses, including cross-border abduction, torture, and killings of opposition supporters. Besigye's former aide, Sam Mugumya, who was also detained, allegedly suffered torture and was left wheelchair-bound. Mwangi warns that if Besigye remains in custody, Kenyan President William Ruto would be responsible for his abduction and subsequent torture.
The activist also criticizes Museveni's government, accusing them of systematic human rights violations. Besigye's potential death in prison would be a direct consequence of the Kenyan government's inaction in securing his release and proper medical care.
