Wine, whose real name is Robert Kyagulanyi, was arrested for allegedly staging a protest in 2018.

Ugandan rapper-turned-MP Bobi Wine was released from prison Thursday, his lawyer said, just days after the outspoken government critic was detained on charges his supporters said were politically motivated.

His supporters - who clashed with security forces when Wine was arrested Monday - celebrated in the streets of Kampala where police and the military kept close guard. He has emerged a real challenger to the veteran president, who intends to run for a sixth term in 2021.Ugandan authorities have frustrated Wine's efforts to hold concerts at his private club, and have detained him repeatedly for procedural misdemeanours.

Teen who smuggled 394 MDMA caps into music festival avoids prison, despite police appealAn 18-year-old aspiring nurse who internally concealed almost 400 MDMA pills at a music festival where a man died has avoided prison again, despite an appeal against her non-custodial sentence. This woman stuffed nearly 400 illegal pills into her vagina to take to a music festival. She did this to make fast money. People are dying from these drugs. Why is she not going to jail? Higher level drug criminals will use this case to recruit more young women to smuggle drugs. Don’t worry, no jail time if you get caught. I’m sure she learnt her lesson.
