Kizza Besigye collapses during a treason hearing in a Kampala courtroom and is now unconscious in the intensive care unit of a public hospital, his wife Winnie Byanyima says.The collapse follows Besigye's protest against state-appointed lawyers after his lead counsel Erias Lukwago was detained and Martha Karua was barred from entering the country; his son Adam Ampa and supporters demand treatment by Besigye's personal physician.The treason charge accuses Besigye of plotting to overthrow President
Yoweri Museveni, a crime that carries the
death penalty, and has prompted denunciations from
Bobi Wine and reports by
Ingrid Turinawe that access to Besigye is being restricted while the presidency and
Muhoozi Kainerugaba defend the prosecution.
