Crackdown against women’s rights activists in Jamaica and Uganda

In March and early April, two grave cases of crackdowns against women’s rights activists have been registered worldwide. In Jamaica, activist Latoya Nugent was detained and charged for cybercrime under an anti-terrorist law, an action widely condemned by human rights groups and organizations. In Uganda, the feminist scholar Stella Nyanzi was arrested also on the basis of a cybercrime law after criticizing the Ugandan President and his wife on Facebook.
