Ugandan opposition figure Bobi Wine is freed on bail
KAMPALA, Uganda — Ugandan pop star and opposition figure Bobi Wine was freed on bail Thursday after spending three nights in a maximum-security prison.
The lawmaker, whose real name is Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, is charged with disobeying statutory authority. He faces trial over staging a street protest in July against a tax on social media.
Prosecutors opposed the bail application. A magistrate said the singer is forbidden from participating in illegal demonstrations as part of the bail conditions.
