KAMPALA -- When jailed by the government, Andrew Mwenda, probably Uganda's best-known journalist, told his family and friends not to despair. The meals provided by the state weren't bad, he said, better than his high school, and besides, the journalist had finally gained access to men claiming torture by a notorious branch of the Ugandan police. If his hero Nelson Mandela could spend 27 years in prison, said Mr. Mwenda, then no one should worry about him until after at least a year.
