"Come and beat me!" - Controversial activist Stella Nyanzi sits on judge's chair and gives Uganda's justice system the middle finger after her trial was adjourned again

                                     

Controversial Ugandan feminist and Makerere University lecturer, Dr. Stella Nyanzi has called out the country's justice system after her trial was adjourned for four consecutive times.

The 42-year-old was arrested and charged on April 10, under section 24 and 25 of Computer Misuse Act, 2011 after she called President Yoweri Museveni a 'pair of buttocks'

Angry and frustrated over the adjournment, Nyanzi sat on the judge's chair and gave the middle finger to the judicial system... including the judge, and the state prosecutor, who didn't even show up. Read her Facebook rant below:

"Fuck the justice system in Uganda for delaying my justice! With an adjournment to 20th December 2017, I have sat in the judge's chair and found the system guilty of procrastination, negligence, incompetence and inefficiency.

How can I be subjected to four consecutive adjournments without hearing? How can the trial Chief Magistrate assigned to my case dodge my hearing three solid times? And the state prosecutor has not showed up the last two times because of the on-going strike!

And then their sector will be nyonyonyoing about having a humongous backlog of cases! Well, the judged has become the judge of the fucked up justice system. GUILTY of fuckery! GUILTY of nnyokory! GUILTY of things falling apart! Come and beat me: I am sitted in the judge's chair in Court Room 2 at Buganda Road Chief Magistrate's Court."
