Uganda bans live broadcasts of riots ahead of vote

The Ugandan government has banned live broadcasts of riots and violent incidents ahead of an important election.

The election is between the current president, who has been in power for 40 years, and a popular opposition candidate who used to be a singer.

The government says the ban is to stop tensions from getting worse.

However, rights groups say the government is being too harsh on the opposition candidate's supporters, arresting and hurting them.

Many people are worried about the fairness of the election and the treatment of those who disagree with the government.
