Excitement as Ugandan Court Sets Dr Stella Nyanzi Free

The International War Crimes Division of the High Court in Kololo, Kampala has ordered for the release of Dr Stella Nyanzi from Luzira Prison where she has been for months. Dr Nyanzi was last year convicted and sentenced to 18 months for harassing President Museveni. She however, appealed against the conviction and sentence citing unfairness and that the trial court erred in law. On Thursday, Justice Henry Peter Adonyo who heard her appeal ordered for her “immediate release” from prison. The judge noted that Buganda Road trial magistrate, Gladys Kamasanyu had no jurisdiction to convict Dr Nyanzi of cyber harassment.

Kosovo’s New Government Includes Most Women Since Independence

Appointment of six women in leadership posts represents highest percentage since end of the war more than 20 years ago.

California Law Adds Women to Boards but Leaves Latinas Behind

Latina candidates are being left behind as California boardrooms add more women, even though Hispanics are the largest and fastest-growing ethnic group in the state. Latina directors were appointed to only 3.3% of new board seats over the last 17 months as the companies scrambled to add women to meet a new state requirement that public boards have at least one female director by the end of last year, according to an analysis released Monday by the Latino Corporate Directors Association. White women gained the largest share, at 78%, the data showed. “When you’re sitting in a boardroom, sometimes they’ll say, we need to have some minorities, but sometimes that doesn’t mean Hispanics, and when they say women, sometimes that doesn’t mean Hispanic,” said Maria Contreras-Sweet, a director at Sempra Energy and Regional Management Corp. and former head of the Small Business Administration under President Barack Obama. “It has to…
