Ugandan opposition leader Kizza Besigye charged with treason, which carries the death penalty.

Besigy has been in custody since Nov. 16 , when he went missing in the Kenyan capital of Nairobi .

He is accused of plotting to remove the country’s long-time leader by force.

The Supreme Court stopped his military trial last month , saying court-martial panels cannot try civilians.
