Fuck civility: feminist scholar @drstellanyanzi is on trial for “offending” Uganda's president, Yoweri Museveni. She is a proponent of "radical rudeness", a traditional Ugandan strategy for unsettling the powerful through the tactical use of public insult. ifex.org/uganda/2018/12…
Nyanzi was detained for 5wks in 2017 for calling Museveni a “pair of buttocks” - her least profane criticism of him. She currently faces a 1yr prison sentence if convicted for poem she posted wishing Museveni’s mother’s birth canal had poisoned him upon birth to save #Uganda.
Nyanzi’s next Court appearance is Dec 10. Her lawyer has said he hoped to be able to question President Museveni as "the first witness" to the alleged offences. "We're going to prepare to cross-examine the president on all matters concerning the vagina". #FreeStellaNyanzi
