Under Museveni's dictatorship, it has become commonplace for critical opposition leaders to face criminal charges and be imprisoned. The president's main rivals Kizza Besigye and, later, Robert Kyagulanyi (aka Bobi Wine) have both been detained on several occasions, but many less prominent politicians have faced similar fates too.
What is causing growing concern now, however, are signs that Museveni wants to make it harder for defendants of criminal offences to get bail.
The plan to ban bail is to target the opposition politicians because he knows that whoever tries to oppose him he will put him in jail for as long as he wants. The NUP leader has been arrested on numerous occasions in recent years for charges ranging from the unlawful possession of firearms, to treason, to breaking Covid-19 regulations.
Kizza Besigye, a four-time presidential candidate who has similarly faced jail and arrests - including on charges of treason and rape.
Well done for exposing this dictator who doesn't care about his country men - VPN all the way
