Stella Nyanzi, a controversial Ugandan academic and human right activist
was last week charged with 'cyber harassment' for referring to the President of
Uganda, Yoweri
Museveni, as 'a pair of
buttocks' in a Facebook post.
It was alleged that her comments contravened the 2011 Computer Misuse Act
and that she engaged in 'cyber harassment' and 'offensive communication'.
Nyanzi who is a big critic of the present administration has always
criticized the president for poorly running the country. Before insulting the
President, she had initially dragged out his wife, Janet Museveni calling her
'empty brained' on social media.
Ms Nyanzi, a mother of three, who describes herself as a 'medical
anthropologist' pleaded not guilty to the charges and was remanded in custody
until 25 April.
