On this day in 2011, the State unleashed untold terror on Dr Kizza Besigye at the height of the Walk to Work protests.
Security forces intercepted Dr Besigye at the Mulago roundabout and one Gilbert Arineitwe Bwana smashed his car windows with a pistol, and doused Besigye with pepper spray at point-blank that nearly blinded him.
Bwana then roughed Besigye up and bundled him into a police pickup truck like a street thief.
After the brutal incident, Gilbert Bwanaโs life turned upside down.
His wife left him, attempted to become a pastor but failed, he was admitted into Butabika Hospital over mental illness, and he battled several court cases, including rape, aggravated trafficking in persons, domestic violence, among others.
