Bobi Wine is the stage name of Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, a Ugandan
musician, businessman, entrepreneur
philanthropist and actor who became an Ugandan MP in July 2017, having
previously worked on various projects
to give the people of Uganda power in their communities to make their
lives better
He was arrested while campaigning for another candidate in a by-election
and charged with possessing arms
When he was released as that charge was dropped he was immediately
re-arrested and is now charged with treason.
He had been badly beaten while under the first arrest and was barely
able to walk when he came to court.
