The Buganda Road Chief Magistrate’s Court has remanded three women on charges of common nuisance following a nude protest earlier in the day.
The three Norah Kobusingye, Praise Aloikin, and Kemitoma Kyenzibo, appeared before Chief Magistrate Ronald Kayizzi on Monday afternoon.
The trio was charged with common nuisance and remanded till September 12.
Prosecution alleges that on September 2, 2024, at Parliamentary Avenue, Kobusingye, Kyenzibo, and Apoloje, along with others still at large, staged a protest in the middle of the road while partially undressed and with messages written on their bodies.
Prosecution argued that the act, unauthorized by law, caused public annoyance, obstruction, and inconvenience.
However, the accused denied the charges. State Attorney Ivan Kyazze informed the court that investigations into the matter are complete and requested an adjournment. The defense attempted to apply for bail but was unable to provide a sufficient number of sureties.
