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.

Recently, PFF declared weekly days, including every Wednesday, for Ugandans to wear national flag colours as an act that demonstrates their salient and peaceful demand for the release of Besigye, Lukwago and other alleged political prisoners, but the move has since faced hurdles, citing poor mobilisation and lack of resources to provide T-shirts.

However, the prison authorities have since revealed that the duo can still be treated in Uganda, stating that their current health state does not require specialized treatment from abroad, as alleged by the party leaders. Nevertheless, Kamara insisted that the High Court should release their leaders on bail and get the required medical attention.

“Despite global condemnation, Baguma claims he is "not aware" that our leaders were illegally abducted from Nairobi, Kenya. He claims he "doesn't know" that they were first dragged to a military court-martial before being dumped into civil courts. How can a High Court judge be this blind to blatant transnational repression?” The statement read in part.

“We have all the reasons to believe that Lukwago has been arrested by the CDF because he had filed several applications since Besigye was arrested in Nairobi, including that on human rights enforcement, which Justice Baguma endorsed for hearing on June 30th, 2026, at the High Court,” Ssemuju said.
