KAMPALA, April 17 (Reuters) - Ugandan police used water cannons and fired live rounds in the air on Tuesday to disperse opposition supporters protesting the arrest of two politicians accused of inciting violence last week.

A Reuters witness said scores of police officers turned on several hundred demonstrators gathered to back two opposition members of parliament arrested on Monday over a protest last week that targeted Asians and in which three people died.
