Riots in Uganda’s capital have left at least two people dead and at least 120 wounded after police fired at protesters with live ammunition, rubber bullets and tear gas.
Government officials say police arrested at least 360 people in a bid to quell the unrest.
Rioters burned tires and set up blockades in parts of Kampala to protest the latest arrest of opposition leader Kizza Besigye.
Besigye was arrested on Thursday for the fourth time this month after security forces stopped his car in Kampala. Video showed police smashing the car window and spraying the opposition leader with tear gas.
He was later released on bail and late Friday arrived in Kenya for medical treatment.
The opposition leader has led a series of “walk to work” demonstrations to protest high food and fuel prices.
President Yoweri Museveni has warned that such protests will not be tolerated.
The president has blamed soaring food and fuel prices on poor weather and global economic factors.
Besigye has led Uganda’s opposition for a decade. He has lost three straight presidential elections to Mr. Museveni, who has ruled Uganda since 1986.
