Uganda s opposition leader Bobi Wine.
A Ugandan court on Monday ordered the military and police to lift the siege on the home of opposition leader Robert Kyagulanyi alias Bobi Wine, who says he has been held under house arrest since the country s presidential elections.
Wine first announced that he had been placed under house arrest on January 17 on social media, three days after the East African country went to the polls.
In his ruling on Monday, as reported by Daily Monitor, Justice Micheal Elubu ordered security operatives to “immediately vacate” Wine’s home or take him to an authorized detention centre if he (Kyagulanyi) has a case.
