The National Unity Platform (NUP) opposition party has published a list of more than 100 individuals whom they claim were apprehended by the police during an operation aimed at preventing a planned procession to welcome their party leader, Robert Kyagulanyi, also known as Bobi Wine. Kyagulanyi had recently returned from international trips to Canada and South Africa.

According to a list shared by Kyagulanyi on his social media platform, the number of alleged detained party supporters currently stands at 120 individuals, and there are many others yet to be identified.
Kyagulanyi, who is presently under house arrest, estimated that more than 300 party supporters and leaders may have been arrested since October 2, 2023, in anticipation of his return.
“Our legal team, leaders, and other comrades have managed to secure the release of many of them on police bond, while several others are facing baseless charges in court. Our teams are diligently pursuing all these unlawful detentions. We remain determined to overcome!” Kyagulanyi posted on Friday.
Kyagulanyi added, “The biased police had initially claimed to have arrested only 40 people, which is their typical dishonesty. Here is a partial list of our supporters who are still in custody.”
In a statement released on Friday by Kampala Metropolitan Police Spokesperson Patrick Onyango, the police stated that they had arrested only 40 suspects, including Charles Matovu, Member of Parliament for Busiro South, for allegedly inciting violence.
“These individuals will face charges in court as our operations continue,” Onyango emphasized.
