Nyanzi is one of three women who have been arrested this year for publishing a sharp takedown of the Ugandan government.
CNN published a piece detailing the trial as part of their As Equals series, dedicated to investigating gender inequality. Here’s what they found.
ADVERTISEMENT In September of 2018, she posted a poem on Facebook that critiqued Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni. She didn’t hold back. In the poem, published on the day after Museveni’s birthday, Nyanzi writes that she wished the President would have drowned in his mother’s vagina at birth: “Suffocated you just like you are suffocating us with oppression, suppression and repression!. . .
But this isn’t the first case of its kind. Nyanzi is one of three women who has been arrested this year for publishing a sharp takedown of the Ugandan government. Nyanzi herself was arrested in 2017 for a different Facebook post, which denounced Janet Museveni, Uganda’s First Lady, for bailing on her promise to ensure schoolgirls have access to sanitary pads.
