Uganda Riots Over Kizza Besigye's Arrest -- BBC
At least one person has died in riots in Uganda's capital over the treatment of opposition leader Kizza Besigye.
Security forces have fired live ammunition, rubber bullets and tear gas to disperse protesters burning tyres.
Mr Besigye sought medical treatment after being tear-gassed in his car and bundled roughly into a truck when he was arrested on Thursday.
It was his fourth detention this month for his participation in a "walk-to-work" protest over high prices.
President Yoweri Museveni has said the walking campaign over the rise in the cost of living is illegal.
After his arrest Dr Besigye was charged with inciting violence but released on medical grounds until 2 May.
