Dr Besigye's Lawyers Put in Jail for Not Agreeing with Government

From the BBC:
Museveni rival in military court

So Museveni has decreed that Dr Besigye can be tried in military court and when the lawyers argue against it, they are arrested. Nice.
Again, is the international community going to allow this farce to continue? Or is Museveni too valuable a partner in the “War on Terror” to criticize? And by allow, I mean are we going to continue funding the government as it does this and give our tacit approval to his methods?

Thus far, here is the extent of the US Embassy in Uganda’s response: United States urges Uganda to examine basis of charges against Besigye
