Ugandan pop star-turned-MP shares detailed torture allegations against military

Bobi Wine, the Ugandan pop star-turned-politician, posted a statement on Facebook Monday detailing physical abuse he says he suffered at the hands of the military. During and after his detention last month, Wine says he was beaten with an iron bar, punched, kicked, hit with pistol butts and had his ears pulled with "something like pliers."
"After some time, I could almost no longer feel the pain. I could only hear what they were doing from a far. My cries and pleas went unheeded. The things they were speaking to me all this while, I cannot reproduce here. Up to now, I cannot understand how these soldiers who I probably had never met before in person could hate me so much," Wine said in the statement.
