A Ugandan opposition activist, who President Yoweri Museveni’s son said he had been holding captive in his basement, appears to have been tortured, the justice minister said.
Uganda’s Chief of Defence Forces Muhoozi Kainerugaba, who is Museveni’s eldest child, said last week that he had detained Eddie Mutwe, the chief bodyguard for opposition leader Bobi Wine.
