Police have blocked access to opposition leader Kizza Besigye's house
The UN's human rights office says it's "concerned by the tense post-electoral situation in Uganda".
In a statement it cites reports of two people being killed and the arrest of opposition members in the aftermath of Thursday's presidential and parliamentary elections.
It also says that it is "concerned about the intimidating display of force used on Friday by Ugandan police and military forces" when it entered the offices of the main opposition FDC party.
Last week, the US Secretary of State told President Yoweri Museveni of his concerns with the detention of opposition members and the shutting down of social media sites during the election.
