Ugandan government says it will drop military trial against opposition figurehead Kizza Besigye .

The pledge was promptly rejected as "suspicious" by Besigyye 's wife, UNAIDS executive director Winnie Byanyima .

The government has vowed to try him in a military court, despite a Supreme Court ruling that such a move against a civilian is unconstitutional.

Baryomunsi declined to say whether Sunday 's pledge was prompted by outcry.
