Uganda's opposition leader Bobi Wine said on Saturday his wife had been taken to the hospital after soldiers invaded their residence, partially undressed and choked her.

Wine, a pop star-turned-politician, was not at the property and is in hiding after he escaped a previous raid on his home last week, hours before he was announced as the runner-up in the January 15 presidential election.
