Robert Kyagulanyi, also known as Bobi Wine, the opposition leader in Uganda, has alleged that security forces stormed the hospital where he was being treated for a leg injury.
According to Wine, the operatives harassed medical staff and demanded access to his medical records.
Wine, who was reportedly shot in the leg by police on Tuesday, made these claims in a statement. He stated that the security personnel disrupted the hospital’s operations and put the lives of other patients at risk.
The Ugandan authorities have not yet commented on these allegations. However, they have previously denied that Wine was shot by police, instead claiming that he injured himself in a fall.”
The Ugandan Police have denied shooting Wine, claiming he injured himself while getting into his vehicle. Wine’s party, National Unity Platform (NUP), reported that he was shot during a chaotic incident in Bulindo, north of Kampala.
