Jemimah Kansiime AKA "Panadol wa bassajja"-- literally, "medicine for men" is being charged in a Ugandan court of law for wilfully and unlawfully producing, trafficking, importing, selling and abetting pornography, the first person to be indicted under the new anti-porn law.
The 21-year-old singer has already spent five weeks in jail and faces up to 10 years in prison.
Critics say it is part of a growing anti-liberal movement including tough laws against homosexuals in Uganda, where religious-driven conservatism appears to be on the rise and where US evangelical preachers rather than pop stars like Kansiime often receive rock star welcomes.
