Ugandan Court Orders Stella Nyanzi to Undergo Mental Exam

An attempt by the Makerere University academic and social activist to avoid the "humiliating" mental examination has failed and her bail was denied pending the results. Nyanzi is facing cyber harassment charges after she referred to President Yoweri Museveni as a "pair of buttocks" in a Facebook post.
