It's just a few hours to the ruling on a case where Makerere University researcher, Stella Nyanzi is accused of disturbing the peace of President Yoweri Museveni.
But to Stella Nyanzi, nothing will come as a surprise. Through a post on social media, she claims the judgement was written almost a year back even before she appeared in court.
"I was already condemned before I came in (court)."
On why she still came to court that she says had already condemned her, she says that she only went there for politics.
"I did not come to your court for Justice. I came to continue poking the leopard's a***. I did not enter your Court for legal battle.
I was already condemned before I came in. I did not come seeking for a fair trial.
I came to this Court for Politics."
She adds that it is the reason why she rejected offers of a seat in the suspects' Dock.
"My presence in your Court as a suspect and prisoner highlights multiple facets of dictatorship. I exposed the entrenchment of autocracy. I confirmed the curtailing of free expression. I demonstrated State punishment for regime critics.
"I showcased the tyrant's abuse of the judiciary. I witnessed myriads of injustices of the justice system. I never came to your Court seeking for justice. I came to your Court to play the game of politics. I refuse to be a mere spectator in the struggle to oust the worst dictator."
Buganda Road Chief Magistrates court is set to deliver its judgement on her case at 2pm.
Prosecution alleges that on September 16, 2018, Nyanzi posted on her Facebook page indecent words against the president and his late mother Esteeri Kokundeka.
According to the state, the said posts were intended to disturb their peace and right to privacy.
