Kayihura on Thursday said that Baro, 54, is in police custody because the Director of Public Prosecution Richard Buteera protested his sentence of 6 million shillings fine or imprisonment for two years. Kayihura did not tell where Baro is detained but he said the Turkish national is liked to be charged again.

Ms Jane Kajuga Okuo says the office of the DPP called for the file of the unusual case because his office was dissatisfied with the sentence that was delivered by Nakawa Court Grade One Magistrate Rosemary Ngabirano.

The Turkish man was on March 27, charged with Computer Misuse Act under section 23(4) which provides that a person who produces child pornography commits an offence and is liable on conviction to 15 years imprisonment or a fine. Uganda says that Baro was found in possession of a compact disc with videos showing two Ugandan children sucking his genitals. Baro pleaded guilty of the offence.
