One of the world’s most restrictive “anti-pornography” laws, the indecency statute passed by Uganda in 2014, has been struck by the nation’s Constitutional Court as unconstitutional.
The Chairperson of Uganda's Media Council, Dr. Goretti Nassanga, said the ban follows widespread concerns by Ugandans on the increase of pornographic and obscene materials in Uganda’s media.
A new amendment in Uganda's pornography laws will target video halls, Internet cafés and electronic media, according to the country's minister of ethics, Nsaba Butero.
