KAMPALA (Reuters) - Ugandan legislator Francis Zaake, detained after the president's convoy was stoned, has been "brutalised" by security personnel, an opposition figure said on Wednesday as images of the bruised lawmaker emerged on social media.

Supporters of an independent candidate running in a parliamentary by-election threw stones at President Yoweri Museveni's motorcade on Monday in the West Nile region near the border with the Democratic Republic of Congo, police and Museveni said.
