@drstellanyanzi speaks: “after listening to the mitigating factors raised by the prosecution, i could talk about my children, who are minors—i will not. my children celebrate my protest actions”

“my children deserve much better for women of uganda. i refuse to be silent in the face of oppression. i will sacrifice motherhood to whatever alter i have to sacrifice motherhood to, if i can speak to a dictator in any language, even the language of vaginas”

“find my guilty of offending Yoweri Museveni because that is what Ugandan mothers should do. We are tired of dictatorship” stella leads a chant of “viva opposition”

“i would like to embolden young people...our youth must learn to use their voices.” “the internet must be protected. the public media has been silenced”

“if i have committed a crime, send me to a prison that takes care of women’s needs. can something be done about the blocked toilets & the UTIs at Luzira prison. We have a sick bay with no doctors”
