KAMPALA, Uganda -- The British producer of a play about being gay in Uganda is in jail pending his trial on charges that he had the work performed without official authorization.
David Cecil appeared in court Thursday charged with "disobeying lawful orders" from the Uganda Media Council, which says he staged "The River and the Mountain" in Uganda's capital last month despite orders to the contrary.
Cecil's lawyer, Francis Onyango, said his client was not released on bail because his passport, wanted by the magistrate, had been confiscated by the police.
