Uganda Elections : Run-up turned deadly after Bobi Wine was arrested

Description

Political commentator Su Muhereza says Bobi Wine, the lead opposition candidate in the Ugandan elections, disrespected covid regulations during his rallies, which got him arrested. He has since been released, but there are still suspicions among his supporters that the government tried to silence him for fear of his growing popularity.
