Uganda opposition leader charged

             Mr Besigye has been repeatedly arrested several times since February's election

Uganda's opposition leader Kizza Besigye has appeared in court in the capital, Kampala, to answer charges of "disobeying lawful orders".
This is in regard to an incident last week when Mr Besigye tried to attend a weekly "Black Tuesday" prayer session at his party's head office to protest against the outcome of February's election, which he lost to President Yoweri Museveni.
Police told Mr Besigye to follow a designated route but he insisted on going through the city centre. His car was then blocked and towed away.
The court gave Mr Besigye bail, and postponed the case to 27 April.
This is the first time Mr Besigye has been charged since the disputed election, although he has been arrested several times.
