An international law firm representing Ugandan opposition leader Robert Kyagulanyi, also known as Bobi Wine, has petitioned the Commonwealth Secretariat to act against Uganda over alleged post-election human rights violations.

In a statement released in London, Amsterdam & Partners LLP said it had submitted a formal dossier requesting that Uganda be referred to the Commonwealth Ministerial Action Group (CMAG).
