It does this through a critical multi-directional reading of two Uganda High Court appeal cases that overturned the decision of a lower court which at first instance had convicted Dr Stella Nyanzi of the offences of cyber harassment and offensive communications. Being right-with is a regulative and coercive idea within human rights law that animates a violent irrepressible police drive. I use being right-with to assert that when individuals make rights claims under human rights law (however radical those assertions might be), they are still imbricated within a mode of liberal humanist subjecthood that is always conceptually unfree. 2023-09-22T06:56:00Z 2023-09-22T06:56:00Z 2023 Book https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10691-022-09500-x https://dlib.phenikaa-uni.edu.vn/handle/PNK/9154 en application/pdf Springer
