Filmmaker Moses Bwayo made a documentary about pop singer turned MP Bobi Wine who is an inveterate  challenger of President Yoweri Museveni.

Uganda police arrested Bwayo last month and held him for two days before releasing him to appear in court yesterday.

He is now being in police cells until his hearing resumes tomorrow.

Bwayo’s facing charges of unlawful assembly.

Last year 39 Ugandan journalists were sacked for reporting on the activities of Bobi Wine who says he’ll end Museveni’s 34 year Presidency in next year’s election.
