VO
Kiiza Besigye was brought to court in a heavily guarded prison van on Wednesday morning
He appeared briefly before a magistrate and fresh treason charges read to him.
Besigye did not take a plea and had no legal representation.
His lawyer Yusuf Nsibambi told us... their legal team was not officially informed about the court proceedings.
Besigye lost the February presidential elections.
He is accused of declaring himself the winner and purportedly taking a presidential oath.
He was arrested last week, a day before President Yoweri Museveni was sworn-in for a fifth term in office
Besigye has been remanded to prison and is expected back in court at the beginning of next month.
