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.
