Prominent Ugandan King Rearrested Over Charges Of Terrorism And Treason.

Police in Uganda have rearrested the Rwenzururu King Charles Mumbere, hours after a court released him on bail, reports say. It is unclear why the police have detained him again. He was first arrested on 27 November on charges of treason and murder after clashes between royal guards and security forces left more than 60 people dead.

The authorities accuse of him of trying to stage a rebellion to secede from Uganda. King Mumbere also has followers in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo.

The king denies any involvement in violence.
