Controversial Makerere University lecturer Dr. Stella Nyanzi is in court for the first bail application hearing. Nyanzi has been on remand at Luzira Prison for the last two weeks.
Yesterday the Criminal division of High court recalled Nyanzi’s case file from Buganda Road Chief Magistrate’s court following an appeal by her lawyer Isaac Kimaze Semakadde. Kimaze claimed that the Buganda Road court chief magistrate James Ereemye Mawanda had a coalition with the state to frustrate his client’s bail application hearing.
The academician is charged for offensive communication and cyber harassment.
