The PFF leader expressed dissatisfaction with how Justice Emmanuel Baguma is handling the treason case, alleging judicial bias and prolonged detention without timely bail consideration. He further claimed that the evidence being presented by state witnesses against Besigye is fabricated, describing it as a product of a "pseudo-military operation" allegedly launched by the state with the intention of keeping Besigye in prison for life.
