Ugandan activist to be prosecuted over president's mother

A Ugandan court has ruled that activist Stella Nyanzi must defend herself against charges of cyber harassment and offensive communication against President Yoweri Museveni.

Ms Nyanzi was accused of posting a Facebook message in September about the president and his late mother that was deemed to be obscene, lewd and indecent.
