What happened in Kalangala District today as the campaign was scheduled there is very simple. The Uganda Police Force says they kept him with “restraint” which is a bunch of bollocks. Because, the state has no tools in the shed to use that for. They can arrests and detain a person.
The Police in Kalangala did firs arrest Bobi Wine and the 90 people associated with his team. They were physically moved from their location to the Kalangala Police Station. As they are later moved again to be airlifted to Kampala or Wakiso. The home of Bobi Wine in Magere.
However, this isn’t “restraint” as that is nonsense. What it is a pre-emptive arrest. Meaning they are preventing something from happen and arresting the person before doing. As they are incriminating someone and saying the person is about to commit an offence before doing. That means, they are forcefully taken the person away from the supposed crime scene before it happens. This means, the state better have prepared evidence of the supposed crime and usage of criminal behaviour. As they have made a criminal case before it even happened.
This is the same thing as arresting someone for criminal conspiracy. Someone is about to do crime. A few thieves in a den is planning to rob a bank. They have made the plans, got the insider tip and prepared to empty the vault. However, someone snitched and told the authorities. Therefore, the state could raid the den and arrest the thieves even before their acted upon criminal enterprise. The same happened today to Bobi Wine.
This here is an pre-emptive arrest and not showing restraint. That is just a mere fact. The same has been done with other opposition leaders in the past. Like the days of house-arrests for Erias Lukwago, Ingrid Turinawe, Kizza Besigye and others. They have all been pre-emptive arrested by the authorities in their homes. Blocked from leaving their homes to do their political work.
The same is now happening to Bobi Wine and his team. The National Unity Platform (NUP) is directly under siege, arrested and forcefully moved from a place. This by the authorities who better have collected “evidence” and “intelligence” to prove the “quest” for this mission and operation. Because, they have to answer sooner or later to the courts. As they are the ones that used these means to get Bobi Wine and his fellow behind bars. Later airlifted away from Kalangala district.
That is the mere reality of this. They can claim its not an arrest, but it is. It is an pre-emptive one. Since they prevented Bobi Wine from doing something. Peace.
