Uganda's top opposition figure, Bobi Wine, sustained a leg injury from police fire during an act described as government intimidation against dissent, amplifying prior campaigns of violence.
Mr. Wine's lawyer reported that he was shot while returning from visiting a party lawyer, as military and police surrounded their vehicle, firing live ammunition and tear gas.
Highly regarded for his music career, Bobi Wine rose as a significant political challenger, but faced consistent harassment and violence during the 2021 presidential campaign.
The National Unity Platform condemned the attack, claiming it reflects ongoing efforts by the government to suppress opposition and intimidate individuals critical of the Museveni administration.
