A prominent author from Uganda has spoken out about why he fled his home country last month.
Kakwenza Rukirabashaija, a known critic of the Ugandan government, says he was tortured after being arrested in December.
He believes this was because of two books he published, one of which was a satirical critique of President Yoweri Museveni.
