Ugandan Court Blocks Media From Covering Stella Nyanzi's Case

The social activist and Makerere university academic has returned to court seeking bail while fighting the state's intention to send her for mental examination before considering her bail application. She is accused of cyber-harassment and offensive communication for calling President Yoweri Museveni a "pair of buttocks" on her social media posts.
