            Ugandan Opposition Leader Freed After 2 Months in Prison

   by Associated Press

   Uganda's main opposition leader has been freed after spending two
   months in jail over treason charges.

   A Ugandan judge freed Kizza Besigye on bail Tuesday, rejecting
   prosecutors' calls for him to be remanded indefinitely until his case
   is concluded.

   Besigye waved to chanting supporters in a packed courtroom when the
   judge ordered his release.

   Besigye told reporters that he did not know how long his freedom would
   last.

   Besigye insists he won a presidential election held in February.
   According to official results, the longtime president, Yoweri Museveni,
   won with over 60 percent of the votes.

   Besigye declared a defiance campaign, urging his supporters to protest
   what he called a fraudulent victory for Museveni.

   Museveni has held power here since 1986.
