Ugandan musician-turned-MP Bobi Wine has struck a defiant tone in an interview with the BBC.
He was speaking in the US where he is seeking treatment for injuries he alleges were sustained while he was detained by Ugandan security forces.
He says he was tortured, allegations that have been described as “fake news” by President Yoweri Museveni.
He said he was going to return home soon adding:
“I am going to continue the fight for freedom and it is the fight that we must either win or die trying.”
Bobi Wine, whose real name is Robert Kyagulanyi, has been charged with treason in connection with an alleged attack on the president’s car. He denies the charges.
He was arrested along with three other MPs and dozens of other activists.
