Nigerian human rights lawyer, Mr. Femi Falana , has filed a complaint at the United Nations against Ugandan President, Yoweri Museveni, for illegally detaining his main opponent in the recently concluded Presidential election, Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine.
Bobi Wine, a former reggae singer and candidate of the National Unity Platform , won 34% of the vote. But Wine is alleging that the vote was rigged, as election officials face questions over how results were tallied amid an Internet blackout. On Tuesday, the United States Government announced that the US Ambassador to Uganda, Natalie Brown, had been barred from seeing Bobi Wine.
“We have submitted a complaint against the government of Uganda to the United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention concerning the detention of the detained couple,” Falana said.“Mr. Wine and his wife are being illegally detained for days without any criminal charges preferred against him. He has also been denied adequate supply of food by hundreds of Uganda military forces and policemen who have laid siege to his house for the umpteenth time since the election day.
