Uganda opposition figure Kizza Besigye will stay in custody for another week before his bail application is heard.
The court martial trial was adjourned on Monday to 10th December 2024 to allow time for Martha Karua, who will be the lead counsel, to obtain a temporary practising license from the Uganda council.
Besigye was picked up in Nairobi by Uganda agents before being driven to Uganda and locked up in a military jail.
Together with his co-accused, he faces four charges which include being found with two pistols and ammunition, and seeking to buy weapons from foreigners in Geneva, Athens, and Nairobi.
