Kizza Besigye was charged on Friday evening before a Chief Magistrates Court in the north-eastern part of the country.

 

He was not allowed to take plea because treason is a capital offence, with a death penalty and is only triable by a High Court. 

 

According to prosecution, Besigye while in various places declared himself president for having won the February 18th polls.

 

He has been remanded until 25th May when he re-appears before court for further mention of the case.

IMF WARNS AGAINST BREXIT

UK economic growth could be hit in a 'negative and substantial' way, if Britain votes to leave the EU, according to the International Monetary Fund.

A regular report on the state of the British economy from the IMF suggests a so-called Brexit would cause volatility on the financial markets and reduce economic output.

The IMF also believes a vote to Leave could reduce London's influence as a global financial centre.

Britain votes on its European Union membership on 23rd June.

At a press conference in London, IMF boss Christine Lagarde was asked why British voters should listen to her organisation on the EU…after her organisation's recent predictions on austerity measures harming the UK economy were proven wrong.
