1) ICYMI - Yesterday, Ugandan feminist Stella Nyanzi was found guilty of cyber harassment for writing a derogatory poem about the Ugandan President. She will be sentenced today. This is how she appeared in court yesterday, after months in max security prison 👇🏾

2) Defiant doesn't even begin to cover it. Stella Nyanzi made a point of showing the court, and the world, that she would not display the fear and remorse people expect from women who are punished for speaking up against injustice.

3) Stella was like: I'm a mother but you will not use my love for my children to silence it. I'm fighting this dessicated dictator for my kids (I'm paraphrasing here coz that's how I heard it: follow @RosebellK for quotes and videos)
Me👇🏾

4) I don't know Stella Nyanzi. I don't quite know how I feel about radical rudeness as a method for activism. But I know I have deep respect for her, her courage and what she's trying. I know I'll do everything I can to #PushforStellaNyanzi. We all should.
