The Opposition Forum for Democratic Change leaders, Dr Kizza Besigye is expected to appear in Nabweru court on the charges the director of public prosecution is yet to sanction.<\/p>\n

The opposition leader is being held at Nabweru police after he was arrested on Thursday morning for the fourth time in three weeks as police broke up the new walk to work protest.<\/p>\n

His party members, friends and family members are waiting at the court where is expected to be produced shortly<\/p>\n

Dr Besigye had walked a few kilometers from Kalerwe market and was arrested near Mulago round about where he had been mobbed with scores of his supporters’ shouting “tumulese (we have brought him).”<\/p>\n

During all his former attempts at walking to work, the FDC leader hadn’t managed to reach this venue because police would always foil his attempts from near his home.<\/p>\n

However, earlier Dr. Besigye had been forced to abandon his planned walk to work from his Kansangati home when on setting foot outside his gate, he was confronted by a group of 30 women. The women talked to him begging him to abort the planned walk to work demonstration because their children who follow him always land in trouble and some are arrested by police.<\/p>\n

While Dr Besigye reportedly sympathized with the women’s demands, he informed them that it was police who hurt their children and not him.<\/p>\n

He asked them to, “Also go and talk to Police over the same…I don’t cause chaos but Police does.”<\/p>\n

The women later told Dr Besigye that they were on their way to meet President Museveni over the matter and ask for dialogue between the two leaders.<\/p>\n

Sources indicate that the women could have been sent on behalf of the NRM party as the party had on Wednesday mobilized boda bodas in the city by allegedly giving them money for savings to dissuade them from following the opposition leader during his now weekly work to walk demonstration.<\/p>\n

Capt Mike Mukula, an NRM vice chairman for the eastern region on Wednesday told journalists that NRM would do all it could to mobilize its supporters to counter the opposition members in all their actions.<\/p>\n

At Mulago where he was arrested; “He was thrown in a van and taken away,” according to his aide Sam Mugumya. “We don’t know where he was taken but we are trying to find out… They got him when we were in disarray.”<\/p>\n

Our sources indicate that Dr. Besigye could have been briefly held at Wandegeya police station before being transferred to a yet undisclosed location<\/p>\n
