The recent demonstrations by Ugandans and the international community have finally bore fruits as Ugandan despotic President Yoweri Museveni has finally released Bobi Wine.

Bobi Wine, whose official names are Robert Kyagulanyi was released on Thursday after The Ugandan Government charges against him.

According to NBS Television, the Kyadondo East legislator appeared before military court on Thursday monring.

“The court is not an instrument of arresting. The gentleman seated right there was beaten and his rights were abused. My prayer is he should be freed and he gets medication. He needs agent medical care,” lawyer Medard Lubega Segona, who is also the Busiro East MP said.

Pictures on NBS Television showed a frail looking Bobi Wine before the Gulu General Military Court martial chaired by Lt. Gen. Andrew Gutti.

The recent developments are expected to bring calmness to Uganda’s capital city Kampala which has been rocked with demonstrations for the past few days.

The demonstrations brought business to a standstill and it has also been reported that the economy has been affected negatively.
