Ugandan opposition leader Kizza Besigye has been carted off to a police cell for the second straight day after he defied a house arrest order and tried to protest against presidential election results.
Besigye was on Tuesday grabbed by police outside his home on the outskirts of the capital Kampala, forced into a van and spirited away at high speed, his supporters told Al Jazeera.
Officials later confirmed he was being held at a police station and said they would continue with what they called a tactic of "preventative arrest" until the Forum for Democractic Change (FDC) party leader stopped trying to take to the streets.
