Tension continues to grip Uganda in the aftermath of the controversial Presidential and parliamentary poll on 14 January. Massive arrests of opposition supporters and polling agents have been reported across the country.
On Sunday soldiers gunned down two opposition supporters in the south-western Masaka district. Army spokeswoman Brigadier Flavia Byekwaso told the media that the victims were fomenting violence.
The main opposition leader, Bobi Wine, continues to be under house arrest. Local and international human rights organisations have called for his release. He has complained that he has run out of food and other essentials and no one is allowed to visit him.
