Ugandan authorities abandoned a bid to try opposition leader Kizza Besigye for treason in a military court, passing the case to a civilian tribunal and prompting him to end his hunger strike. The use of military courts to abduct and try civilians has drawn sharp criticism from human rights organizations and opposition figures. Uganda's Supreme Court ruled that the trial of civilians in a military court is unconstitutional and that such cases must be transferred to ordinary courts. However, the government's rejection of this ruling, claiming that such trials protect the country from criminals, has had a profound impact on the country's human rights situation.
