The cyber harassment case against Makerere University Senior Reseacher Dr.Stella Nyanzi has been adjourned to the 7th/March 2018 when court will make a ruling on whether to halt and let Nyanzi pursue her constitutional petition challenging the mental Treatment Act.
Nyanzi is accused of offensive communication against the person of President M7 whom she referred to as a pair of buttocks in one of her numerous Facebook posts.
The ruling will be delivered by Buganda Road court trial Chief Magistrate James Eremye Mawanda.
Last year, Nyanzi through her lawyer Peter Walubiri filed an application seeking orders compelling the DPP to commence her criminal trial, saying she is currently out of employment having been suspended by Makerere University.
But Resident State Attorney Jonathan Muwaganya insists that the trial must not commence until the Constitutional Court has pronounced itself on Nyanzi’s petition, that has a direct bearing on the criminal trial.
