. . . They have debtors’ prisons in Uganda?
Apparently they learned all the wrong things from being part of the British Empire.
It all goes down hill once you get rid of the gays.
Nah, I didn’t count that, cause Shodan’s not actually pushing the blame onto the victim.
And the women’s activist in the video says pretty much the same thing.
It’s a valid point, it just shouldn’t be the focus of the issue.
Dammit Drunky!
You were ONE POST late!
That’s the thing.
Lokodo’s first response is to call for the arrest of the victim, and then after that, maybe make some enquiries about the sleaze who posted the pictures.
A truly amazing sense of priority.
Huh? Producing porn isn’t illegal in the USA, is it?
Guiltiest laugh of the day.
Details, details.
There’s a few issues here. One is that, if somebody breaks the law, they should be willing to pay the price, even if they believe the law shouldn’t exist. Another, perhaps more important, issue is that other countries need to put pressure on Uganda to change these laws. Rather sadly, the opposite is happening, and the US is the main reason Uganda has these anti-woman and anti-gay laws and attitudes.
And really, anyone dumb enough to be born in Uganda deserves what they get.
Meh. My view is the same for people who get locked up for victimless crimes here or in the US, such as drug use. Should be legal, isn’t, so if you get caught accept it.
A couple posters are saying that what she did is against the law. But is it? If she didn’t not willingly release the pictures, is it defined as porn? I wouldn’t call unpublished pictures porn.
The minster thinks they might have been released intentionally. So that seems to be a requirement for them to be porn. Granted, I’ve not found many articles explaining how the anti-porn law works.
Plus, unless they are selfies, why isn’t the photographer also being charged?
Possibly slut-shaming, like that thing where they charge you with adultery if you can’t prove rape.
And I don’t think they were selfies. I have not seen the images in question, but I read a description in some Ugandan magazine, albeit written by someone whose English was reminiscent of the wife of a former oil minister who e-mails me a lot.
I am given to understand that, in at least one of the pictures, both her hands are occupied, if you catch my drift. So I think someone else took the pictures.
Regards,
Shodan
Well, if the photographer remains behind the camera the whole time, it may be a lot tougher to make a case than against someone who is on film…
