Uganda's military chief Muhoozi Kainerugaba has denied claims that soldiers assaulted Barbara Kyagulanyi, the wife of opposition leader Bobi Wine, during a raid at their home. Wine, who is in hiding, alleged on Saturday that his wife was held at gunpoint by military officers who assaulted her and took away important documents and equipment. Speaking from the hospital, Barbara described her ordeal, stating that the officers demanded to know her husband’s whereabouts, and when she refused to cooperate, they assaulted her. After the recent controversial re-election of long-time leader President Yoweri Museveni, tensions have escalated, with Wine denouncing the election results as fraudulent. On social media, Kainerugaba claimed that the military does not assault women, asserting that their focus is on capturing his 'cowardly husband'. The military chief has been criticized for issuing threats against Wine and has reportedly sought his surrender since the elections. Barbara, recovering in the hospital, detailed the aggressive actions of military personnel who broke into her home, asserting that one officer even physically assaulted her. Bobi Wine expressed gratitude for the public support that continues to protect him as the military surrounds his home and his wife undergoes treatment for the trauma inflicted during the raid. The Uganda Law Society has condemned the violence against opposition figures, highlighting an ongoing crackdown on dissent and the alarming erosion of civil liberties in the country.
