A Ugandan court has convicted a 21-year-old Tiktoker for calling for the public flogging of President Yoweri Museveni on TikTok.
The defendant, Emmanuel Nabugodi, who created a video depicting a mock Museveni trial, faces up to seven years in prison for allegedly spreading hate speech against the President.
He pleaded guilty and was remanded in custody at the notorious Kigo maximum security prison near Kampala until November 18, when he will be sentenced.
The State Attorney, Paul Aheebwa Byamukama, said prosecutors have asked the Entebbe court to impose a seven-year sentence.
Nabugodi is the fourth Ugandan to appear in court, and remanded in custody, in the last two days for insulting the President and his family.
Recall that in July, another 21-year-old TikToker was sentenced to six years in prison for insulting Museveni, who has ruled Uganda since 1986.
