By A Correspondent | The Ugandan military has moved to disobey a High Court ruling ordering them to vacate popular opposition leader Bobi Wine and stop impeding his freedoms.

The development comes just after the disputed just ended national election which nations like Zimbabwe have condemned.

Announced Bobi Wine on Monday afternoon:

“The High Court ruled this morning that my continued house arrest (11 days now) is illegal & unconstitutional.

“Several hours later, the military still surrounds my home, blocking access to all! Perhaps (as always) waiting for Gen. Museveni’s orders on the next course of action.”

Wine has been holed up at his home in Magere following the disputed election which returned President Yoweri Museveni to office for a sixth term.

Wine has not left his home since he cast his ballot on Thursday January 14.

He has been prevented from leaving the premises sice the day soldiers and police surrounded the compound. The soldiers were also preventing anyone from entering or leaving. A planned visit by the US Ambassador to Uganda, for instance, was blocked by security officials.

A comment from the military could not be obtained at the time of writing. – More to follow
