Over two weeks ago, chaos broke out in Buganda Road court after Grade One Magistrate Gladys Kamasanyu sentenced former Makerere University controversial don Dr Stella Nyanzi to 18 months in Luzira Prison for cyber harassing the President.

Dr Stella Nyanzi protested the sentence by stripping and exposing her breasts accompanied with flashing the middle finger live on video link to court. Her supporters who had attended court turned violent too, hurling insults to the magistrate and one even managed to throw a plastic water bottle to her.

Police moved in swiftly and arrested up to six suspects for their rowdy behaviour in court. The suspects are; Simon Wanyera, Abdullah Waiswa, Augustine Ojobile, Joel Kabali, Moses Katumba and Fatuma Abenabyo. They were charged with inciting violence and malicious damage to property; and have since been in the coolers.
