Crackdown on Uganda's opposition intensifies as elections draw near

Ugandan authorities have detained up to 400 opposition supporters and used force at rallies to hinder campaigning for the January 15 election, Amnesty International reported.

Forty years since Yoweri Museveni took power in Uganda, he plans to seek a seventh term as president in elections on 15 January. His strongest challenger is former entertainer Bobi Wine, but his party's rallies have been marred by what watchdogs call a "brutal campaign of repression".
