Relief for Ugandan Activist As Bail Stands, Mental Test Delayed

The government's bid to reverse Makerere University researcher, Stella Nyanzi's bail has failed as Buganda Road Court has denied the state's request and delayed the bid to test her sanity. Nyanzi is facing cyber harassment charges after she referred to President Yoweri Museveni as a "pair of buttocks" in a Facebook post.
