A Ugandan activist, arrested for calling President Yoweri Museveni a “pair of buttocks”, has been remanded in custody until next month.
Stella Nyanzi’s lawyer told a packed court room in the capital Kampala that his client had been denied access to her family and legal team.
Ms Nyanzi, who has been charged with cyber-harassment, says she has done nothing wrong as she writes in metaphors.
Ms Nyanzi’s social media posts were a reaction to the government’s decision to go back on an election campaign promise to provide free sanitary pads for girls unable to afford hygiene products.
