[ICYMI] Uganda's Bobi Wine urges lifting of 'house arrest'

"We are here, we have run out of food, and nobody is allowed to come in or go out," said Wine, speaking on a crackling"clandestine" line on a Zoom call with journalists as Uganda remains under an internet blackout.Wine, 38, has said he has video footage of ballot box stuffing, soldiers forcing people to vote in a certain way or pre-ticking ballots, but that the internet shutdown is preventing his local lawyers from putting together a legal case.

He said he has been unable to meet his party officials to decide on a way forward but"we are putting all non-violent, all legal and all constitutional options on the table and that includes peaceful and legal protests".Wine's National Unity Platform earlier said that prominent MP, Francis Zaake, who had been arrested as he tried to visit his house on Friday, had been admitted to hospital"badly beaten and brutalised" by security forces.

Once hailed for his commitment to good governance, the former rebel leader has crushed any opposition and tweaked the constitution to allow himself to run again and again.
