A Ugandan TikToker has been sentenced to six years in prison, for insulting the country’s President Yoweri Museveni, the first lady and the army chief, local media reported.
Edward Awebwa, 24, was charged with hate speech and spreading “misleading and malicious” information against President Yoweri Museveni, First Lady Janet Museveni and son Muhoozi Kainerugaba, who is the head of the military.
The court also heard that Awebwa had shared abusive information – saying there would be an increase in taxes under President Museveni.
He had pleaded guilty and asked for forgiveness, reports said.
