Besigye has been arrested outside his home in Kasangati; Wakiso district as he attempted to move to Kampala in protest of the unreasonable commodity prices and alleged “political succession”.
In the past years, Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni warned he would not allow any protest and police stepped in when left his home with a group of people.
