Makerere University researcher Stella Nyanzi has been remanded to Luzira Prison until April 25, after being charged with cyber harrasment for calling President Yoweri Museveni a pair of buttocks in a Facebook post.
Ugandans on Twitter have literally made Nyanzi’s charge the butt of their jokes and now the hash tag #PairOfButtocks is trending.
Check out some of the funniest tweets.
