Uganda being a religious country, its leaders have no smiles for people who deal in pornographic materials and the people who molest girls.

On Wednesday the court in Uganda fined the Turkish national, Emin Baro, the 53-year-old man who was on Monday sentenced to two years in jail at Luzira Maximum security prison after pleading guilty to computer misuse and possessing child pornographic materials.

Emin Baro was fined 6 million shillings. But he was not released. It is said the judiciary wanted to have a test of Uganda’s jails. So he will be released on Thursday, March 29. Baro came to Uganda as a tourist six years back but he started sexually abusing girls below 10 years old.
