A leading Ugandan opposition figure was arrested and charged with murder, police said on Friday, after a deadly anti-government rally that security personnel broke up with teargas and bullets.
Kizza Besigye who has contested and lost four presidential elections against long-time leader President Yoweri Museveni, was detained on Thursday.
