In Uganda, Dissidents Adapt to Evade Huawei Assisted Government Spying

Salem Solomon

   WASHINGTON - On Aug. 13, 2018, Bobi Wine was in campaign mode.

   The popular musician-turned-parliamentarian was attending a rally for
   Kassiano Wadri, a politician from Uganda's Arua region, in the north of
   the country.

   There, Wine says, government forces ambushed, arrested and tortured
   him.

   [1]On his Facebook page, Wine later sharedhis ordeal.

   "The marks on my back, ankles, elbows, legs and head are still visible.
   I continued to groan in pain and the last I heard was someone hit me at
   the back of the head with an object -- I think a gun butt or
   something," Wine wrote. "That was the last time I knew what was going
   on."

   Wine's driver, Yasin Kawuma, was fatally shot [2]during the violence
   that day.
