A prominent academic has been jailed for 18 months for criticising the Ugandan president Yoweri
Museveni in a graphic Facebook post about his 33-year rule.
Stella Nyanzi, a feminist, activist and university lecturer, bared her breasts in protest at the sentence for
cyberharassment while appearing in court by video link from a maximum security prison.
