‘People power, our power’

The World

That’s the slogan of Bobi Wine’s movement. Bobi Wine is a musician and activist in Uganda. His political aspirations landed him in detention, where he says he was tortured. The Ugandan government says he was only beaten, but his injuries were severe. That’s why he came to Boston earlier this month — to get medical attention. Host Marco Werman met Bobi Wine among a crowd of supporters.
