The petition to the constitutional court argues that the description of computer-related crimes in the bill enacted with President Yoweri Museveni's signature last week violates the right to freedom of expression and criminalizes some digital work, including investigative journalism. (AP Photo\/Hajarah Nalwadda)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>Kampala: Ugandan media groups and rights activists on Monday filed a court challenge to a controversial new internet<\/a> law that they protest is aimed at curtailing free speech and quashing dissent.

A total of 13 petitioners, including an online TV station, lodged the complaint with the Constitutional Court over the legislation, which was signed into law by veteran President Yoweri Museveni last week.

The Computer Misuse (Amendment) Act<\/a> \"threatens freedom of expression and targets those with divergent views\", one of the petitioners, Norman Tumuhimbise, told AFP.

Tumuhimbise works for Digital TV, which in March this year was raided by security agents. Nine of its staff including Tumuhimbise were arrested and charged with computer misuse and spreading false information.

According to the petition, the government has been given seven days to file a defence but it is not known when any hearings in the case would begin.

Amnesty International<\/a> has called for the \"draconian\" law to be scrapped, warning that it was designed to \"deliberately target critics of government and it will be used to silence dissent and prevent people from speaking out\".

\"This piece of legislation threatens the right to freedom of expression online, including the right to receive and impart information, on the pretext of outlawing unsolicited, false, malicious, hateful, and unwarranted information,\" said Amnesty<\/a>'s director for East and Southern Africa, Muleya Mwananyanda.

Uganda has seen a series of crackdowns on those opposed to Museveni's rule, particularly around the 2021 election, with journalists attacked, lawyers jailed, vote monitors prosecuted and opposition leaders violently muzzled.

- 'Rise up and defend rights' - Opposition leader Bobi Wine, who unsuccessfully challenged the president in 2021 and has often been targeted by security forces, said the adoption of the law was not surprising.

\"Museveni is aware he is unpopular and he is putting such laws to muzzle the population,\" he told AFP.

\"This time people should rise up and defend their rights because the civil space is being restricted time and again.\"

Amnesty noted that the new legislation contained some useful provisions such as right to privacy and responsible coverage of children but \"it introduces punitive penalties for anyone accused of so-called hate speech\".

People convicted under the law are barred from holding public office for 10 years, which Amnesty warned was a way of reinforcing state control over online freedom of expression, including by political opposition groups.

Offenders also face fines of up to 15 million Ugandan shillings (about $3,900) and prison terms of up to seven years.

\"Ugandans must be able to exercise their right to freedom of expression without fear of being targeted by the criminal justice system,\" Mwananyanda said in the Amnesty statement issued on Friday.

总共13个请愿者,包括在线电视台,向宪法法院的投诉立法,由资深签署成为法律上周总统约韦里·穆塞韦尼。

的计算机滥用法(修正案)“威胁言论自由和目标有不同的看法”,一个上访者,诺曼·Tumuhimbise告诉法新社。

Tumuhimbise适用于数字电视,今年3月被安全人员搜查了。九的员工包括Tumuhimbise被捕并被控滥用电脑和散布虚假信息。

根据请愿书,政府一直给予7天文件辩护,但尚不清楚当任何听证会将开始。

国际特赦组织呼吁废除“严厉”法,警告说它是为了“故意批评政府的目标,它将用于压制异议和阻止人们说话”。

“这立法威胁网上言论自由的权利,包括正确的接收和传递信息,取缔的借口不请自来的,假的,恶意的,可恨的,和不必要的信息,”说国际特赦组织东部和南部非洲的主任Muleya Mwananyanda。

乌干达了一系列打击那些反对穆塞韦尼的规则,尤其是在2021年的选举中,与记者攻击,律师入狱,监控起诉和反对派领导人猛烈地钳制投票。

——“起来捍卫权利”——反对党领袖Bobi酒,谁失败挑战总统在2021年和经常被安全部队的目标,说采用法律并不令人感到意外。

“穆塞韦尼知道他是不受欢迎的,他把这种法律压制人口,”他告诉法新社。

“这次人们应该起来捍卫自己的权利,因为公民空间被限制一次又一次。”

大赦国际说,新法律包含一些有用的规定,如隐私权和负责任的报道孩子,但“它引入了惩罚性处罚任何人指责所谓的仇恨言论”。

人定罪的十年被禁止担任公职,大赦警告是加强国家控制网上言论自由,包括政治反对派。

罪犯也面临罚款1500万乌干达先令(约3900美元)和7年的监禁。

“乌干达人必须能够行使言论自由的权利,而不必担心被刑事司法系统,有针对性的“Mwananyanda大赦周五发表的声明中说。
