Ugandan police returned opposition leader Bobi Wine to his home and encircled the property hours after arresting him during a protest over human-rights abuses by security agents against his supporters.
The politician -- whose real name is Robert Kyagulanyi -- was “arrested as he led MPs and other leaders in a peaceful protest against the abduction, torture and murder of his supporters,” an administrator posted on Bobi Wine’s Twitter account.
