The PFF leader also emphasized the need for a guarantor to ensure that whatever resolutions and commitments come out of the dialogue are actually implemented, saying past dialogues have failed due to lack of enforcement mechanisms.

"Do not negotiate our freedom away in boardrooms. Take our alternative ideas to the people, to the media, to the villages, to the streets and to every Ugandan who is suffering. No deals behind closed doors. No surrender dressed as dialogue. No opposition for sale," Besigye said.

"This is no longer just about legal technicalities but about a human life. Counsel Lukwago has dedicated his entire professional life to defending the rule of law and constitutionalism. To see the same system he has served now turn against him in his hour of greatest need is painful," Lulume added.

"We are demanding that the Judiciary halts Judge Baguma from this case. A judge accused of bias cannot lawfully continue presiding over a case where the accused formally question his impartiality," Bayiga said.

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.

“We have information that Besigye might be admitted to Mbuya Military Hospital. But why did they transfer him there, because he needs to continue with his specialized medication in Mulago? If he is not treated in Mulago, where else can he be treated? Maybe abroad, but not in any facility in Uganda apart from Mulago,” Turinawe noted.

According to the Judiciary, these will facilitate the orderly, secure and efficient conduct of the proceedings while safeguarding the right to a fair and public hearing. However, the PFF party has disregarded it, highlighting the judiciary's deliberate move to deny the public the truth.

“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.
