American narrates how treason plot was allegedly planned

The first prosecution witness, Wilson, testified that "In the first meeting in Brussels, he [Wakhaima] mentioned the name of former Kampala Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago and other individuals. When Wakhaima came to Athens, we engaged in drone training. He also requested firearms training, but I wanted to steer him away from the use of firearms. Wakhaima had already undergone training with a British security company in southern Italy."

Justice Emmanuel Baguma of the Criminal Division of the High Court in Kampala allowed the trial to continue without Besigye, noting that although medical professionals had cleared him as fit to stand trial, he had declined to attend court. (Credit: Maria Wamala)
