JUDGMENT OF JUSTICE CATHERINE BAMUGEMEREIRE, ICC
I have had the benefit of reading in draft the Judgment of my Learned Sister
Irene Mulyagonja JCC. I agree with her conclusion. This petition involves
the blocking and shutting down of social media and mobile money transfer
services. The quest of rights to social media and electronic constitutional
rights presents an area of constitutional interpretation that is novel.
