(Ray Hartley and Greg Mills – RUSI) Three weeks after Uganda’s highly compromised election allowed Yoweri Museveni to retain power, the leader of the opposition National Unity Platform, Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu (widely known as Bobi Wine), is on the run while his wife has endured humiliating intimidation by security forces. Barbie Kyagulanyi has told how she had her clothes torn from her body and was assaulted and subjected to abusive interrogation in her home as dozens of security thugs surrounded her and demanded she reveal the whereabouts of her husband. Wine said in an interview from hiding in Uganda, ‘The Chief of the Defence Force, who is the son of the man I ran against, is saying he is going to kill me. He has said it before, and he has killed.’
