Ugandan pop star-turned-MP Bobi Wine has returned home after receiving medical treatment in the US for injuries he says he suffered in custody.
The opposition politician has addressed huge crowds of supporters at his house.
Police escorted him there from the airport – which he said was against his wishes.
The BBC’s Fergal Keane accompanied him into his home, where the MP said he had “come back to fight”.

Bobi Wine said he was eager to see his children after being away

Police earlier arrested several people who had been trying to reach Entebbe Airport to welcome the politician back.
In an earlier statement, the police said they wanted to thank Bobi Wine for co-operating with officers who escorted him home from the airport.
Bobi Wine, whose real name is Robert Kyagulanyi, was charged with treason alongside 32 other politicians following campaign violence during a by-election in August.
They have been accused of throwing stones at President Yoweri Museveni’s convoy, charges they deny.
The army has rejected allegations that the MP was tortured while in their custody.
