37 Dead After Ugandan Police Arrest Opposition Candidate Then Crack Down on Protests 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Uganda, at least 37 people have been killed as protests continue over
the arrest of opposition presidential candidate Bobi Wine. Some 350
people have been arrested in the capital Kampala since Wednesday, when
Wine was taken into custody. His campaign says he's been denied access
to a lawyer and medical attention. The rapper-turned-politician is
seeking to unseat President Yoweri Museveni, who's been in power for 36
years.
