Despite a ruling by Uganda's Supreme Court stopping the trial of civilians by the General Court Martial and saving four-time presidential candidate Dr Kizza Besigye and his co-accused from being tried by a military court, they are still in prison.
Besigye has gone on hunger strike to protest his continued detention, but prison authorities say they are unaware of the hunger strike.
