Ugandan opposition leader Bobi Wine has revealed that he is currently in hiding following the country’s recent election, citing fears for his safety. The former presidential candidate and pop star turned politician denied allegations linking him to criminal activities, insisting that he is being targeted for challenging the political status quo.

Bobi Wine alleged that security agencies have intensified pressure on members of the opposition after the election, forcing some leaders to go underground. He also accused the son of President Yoweri Museveni of issuing threats against him, a development that has raised fresh concerns about political intimidation and human rights in Uganda.

The Ugandan government has repeatedly dismissed claims of persecution, maintaining that law enforcement actions are lawful. However, rights groups and opposition supporters argue that the situation reflects a shrinking democratic space, with calls growing for international attention to ensure the safety of opposition figures and the protection of civil liberties.
