The leader of the opposition Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) party, Kizza Besigye, lays 07 March 2006 in Rubaga Cathedral a wreath on the coffin of a party supporter, who was killed in violence during the run-up to last month's presidential and parliamentary elections. Besigye was earlier found not guilty of a charge of rape by the High Court in the capital Kampala, which had been brought against him by the state. The presiding judge, Justice John Bosco Katutsi, the prosecution had failed to prove its case. Besigye recently lost the election to incumbent president, Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, and his ability to campaign in the run up to polling day was greatly affected by having to repeatedly attend the case in court. He is also facing a charge of treason along with 22 others, and the trial resumes 15 March 2006. AFP PHOTO / STUART PRICE. (Photo credit should read STUART PRICE/AFP/Getty Images)
