Lawyers representing Makerere University lecturer Stella Nyanzi have protested a move by the state to subject her to medical examination to establish her sanity under a 1938 colonial law.
The academic, a strong critic of the government of President Yoweri Museveni was Monday afternoon remanded to Luzira prison until April 25 after she pleaded not guilty on two counts of cyber harassment and using offensive language against President Yoweri Museveni, contrary to sections 24 and 25 of the Computer Misuse Act 2011.
