According to Arnold, the patient’s room is adjacent to that of opposition politician Dr Kizza Besigye, who remains under tight security at the hospital.
The arrest has drawn criticism from opposition leaders and human rights lawyers, who questioned both the legality of the arrest and the offence cited on the police bond.
