Longtime challenger Kizza Besigye, detained over a year without trial on treason charges, was rushed from prison to a Kampala clinic as his condition turned critical, his party and wife Winnie Byanyima say. Prison officials call it a routine check-up and insist he is stable. Fellow opposition figure Bobi Wine, in hiding after rejecting President Museveni's victory as rigged, voiced solidarity and prayed for Besigye's recovery amid rising calls for his release.
