Ugandan poet Stella Nyanzi was released in February after spending more than a year in prison for some words she wrote on Facebook. Uganda’s government says those words insulted President Yoweri Museveni. While in prison, Nyanzi wrote a book of poems, called "No Roses from My Mouth." Her writings have influenced other people to use poetry to express their political opinions. Now, Uganda’s government plans to appeal her recent acquittal. Before her release in February, Stella Nyanzi was serving 18 months in prison for cyber-harassing the Ugandan president.
