🇺🇬 Ugandan pop star MP Bobi Wine arrested on arrival l Al Jazeera English

Ugandan pop star-turned-politician Bobi Wine says he will keep fighting the government or “die trying”. He was speaking to large crowds of supporters outside his home near the capital Kampala after returning from the United States where he received medical treatment. Wine has been charged with treason, but thus far, it appears that government efforts to stop his political activism have only made him more popular.
