Ugandan opposition leader Kizza Besigye has been prevented from leaving his house by police, as the new parliamentary session is set to open.
The police say that they had information he had mobilised supporters and was about to commit a crime.
He has been arrested four times in recent weeks during opposition protests at the rising cost of living.
Human rights groups have criticised the police crackdown on the protests, which left nine people dead.
