Uganda: Politician Kizza Besigye shot in arm at protest
Ugandan opposition politician Kizza Besigye has been injured after the military opened fire to disperse protesters in the capital, Kampala.
For the second time this week, people were asked to walk to work to protest against rising fuel and food prices.
Police had tried to arrest Dr Besigye but a group of his supporters surrounded him.
Eyewitnesses say the army then stepped in and during the effort to arrest him he was shot in the arm.
The injured opposition leader was then driven away by the military.
Dr Besigye was defeated by President Yoweri Museveni in February's presidential election but says the poll was rigged.
Before the vote, he had called for Egypt-style uprisings in case of fraud.
The police responded by banning public demonstrations.
