 Dutch referee Rob Dieperink dies weeks after removal from World Cup officiating list Dutch referee Rob Dieperink has died at the age of 38, weeks after FIFA removed him from its list of officials for the World Cup. The Dutch Football Association (KNVB) confirmed his death in a statement, saying it was “shocked and deeply saddened” by the news. His cause of death has not been disclosed. Dieperink was arrested in April by the Metropolitan Police in the United Kingdom following a report of an alleged sexual assault involving a teenage boy in London. A Metropolitan Police spokesperson said officers responded on April 9 to a report of sexual assault at an address in Croydon and arrested a man in his 30s on suspicion of the offence. Police later said that after reviewing available evidence, including CCTV footage and digital devices, the investigation had concluded that “the evidential threshold had not been met” and no further action would be taken.

 Ugandan opposition figure Bobi Wine taken away in army helicopter, party says


Ugandan opposition leader Bobi Wine has been forcibly taken away from his home by an army helicopter, his party has said, a day after elections marred by violence and an internet blackout.


President Yoweri Museveni is seeking to extend his four-decade rule after an election that opposition groups say was conducted under widespread repression.


Wine, whose real name is Robert Kyagulanyi, had earlier said he was under house arrest after police surrounded his residence.


Late on Friday, his party, the National Unity Platform, said in a post on X that an army helicopter had landed inside the compound and "forcibly taken him away to an unknown destination," TRT Afrika reported.


The party added that Wine’s private security guards were "violently assaulted" during the operation.


Preliminary results released by the Electoral Commission placed Museveni with 75.38% of the vote, with his closest challenger, Robert Kyagulanyi, 43, popularly known as Bobi Wine, a former pop star turned politician, second with 20.71%.


Wine, 43, a former singer who styles himself the ‘ghetto president’, has emerged as Museveni’s most prominent challenger in recent years.


‘Widespread repression and intimidation’


Earlier, Wine told Anadolu that there is a heavy military presence around his house. The situation in Kampala remains calm but tense, with the city largely deserted as shops remain closed.


Benjamin Katana, a senior figure in Wine’s opposition party, said there is a lack of clarity about the way votes were tallied in the districts announced by the Electoral Commission, raising questions about the integrity of the process.


He told Anadolu that there has been voter intimidation, a security apparatus hostile to polling agents belonging to the opposition and a systematic failure of electronic biometric voting machines, all pointing to concerns about delivering a free and fair election.


Elsewhere, there were reports of deadly violence against opposition supporters.


Analysts have long viewed the election as a formality, citing Museveni’s firm control over the state and security apparatus.


The United Nations rights office said last week the vote was taking place amid “widespread repression and intimidation” of the opposition.
