The TikTok video claiming to show Dr Kizza Besigye seriously ill is misleading and digitally manipulated. A video circulating on TikTok from the account @musawo.aine purports to show Dr Kizza Besigye in hospital, suggesting a recent or worsening medical emergency.

Misleading: Although the image of Dr Besigye in hospital attire is authentic and has been previously published, and the caption stating that he was finally taken to hospital reflects real events, the portrayal of him in an extremely critical health condition is clickbait created using artificial intelligence. This misrepresentation distorts the original photograph and its context.
