Ugandan politician Robert Kyagulanyi alias Bobi Wine has come out of hospital and issued a statement about harassment and intimidation by police.
The statement contained in his social media pages posted early Wednesday night read:
Dear friends,
As you may already be aware by now, following yesterday’s brutal attack by the Police, I was admitted to Nsambya Hospital for treatment.
Once the regime learned of my admission, security operatives came to the hospital and harrased the doctors treating me, demanding for details of my medical records.
They also made several attempts to forcefully access my treatment room but were held off by our vigilant comrades. As if that wasn’t enough, they also blocked all roads leading to the hospital, thereby disrupting hospital traffic flow and endangering more lives.
Consequently, after undergoing minor surgery to remove all foreign bodies that had remained in my leg, I decided to return home prematurely today for the sake of my safety, and out of consideration for other patients at Nsambya Hospital who do not deserve the inconvenience and intimidation.
I will get the rest of my treatment from home.
Many thanks to all of you who continue to send kind messages of support and consolation. We will soon speak out. #PeoplePowerOurPower
