 KAMPALA, Uganda (AP) - Ugandan police and troops clashed with protesters demonstrating against the arrest on treason charges of the president's main political rival.
Kizza Besigye appeared in court Tuesday, a day after his arrest. Elsewhere in Kampala, his supporters ransacked businesses, burned tires and threw stones and other objects at security forces in the central business district.
Police spokesman Asuman Mugenyi said people were hospitalized for treatment of injuries, and 57 people were arrested. He said one man was shot to death by a private security guard as he was allegedly breaking into a shop.
