notes: On September 20th, Bobi Wine MP (the alias of Robert Kyagulanyi) returned to Uganda after three weeks in the United States, where he had been receiving medical treatment following his detention and alleged torture by the Ugandan security services. Police escorted the MP to his home. A heavy police presence was reported in Kampala, and demonstrations were banned. Authorities arrested a number of journalists and civil society members shortly before his return. Ten days later, the treason charges made against Bobi Wine MP and his 34 co-accused were deferred until December 3rd to give time to gather evidence.
