August 20,2018 - A large swathe of downtown Kampala was forced into a lock-down this morning as police engaged protesters in running battles.
Youth protesting the continued detention of Kyadondo East legislator Robert Ssentamu Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine set up barricades and lit bonfires in different areas of the city attracting a prompt response by authorities. Riot Police backed by the military quickly moved firing live bullets forcing many people to seek shelter.
Unfortunate passersby, caught in the fracas were beaten and some arrested as police water engines doused the flames.
