“I have been told that the eye will be removed,” he said.
Also in the process of dispersing protesters, police used teargas and live bullets and a one Edison Nasasira was shot dead and several injured.
Meanwhile, yesterday Besigye, surrounded by a mammoth crowd managed to defeat security to find his way to Rukungiri town for Kogikwatako rally.
