A judge in Uganda has granted bail to popular musician-turned-politician Bobi Wine and 32 opposition politicians who are facing treason charges.

They are accused of allegedly throwing stones at a vehicle in President Yoweri Museveni’s convoy earlier this month.

The army, who had detained him, denied reports that he had been beaten, calling the allegations “rubbish”.
