Ugandan High Court and United Nations judge Lydia Mugambe has been convicted by a UK court for forcing a young woman into modern slavery, DW Africa has reported.
The 49-year-old judge was found guilty of exploiting her victim by preventing her from seeking paid work while compelling her to perform childcare and domestic chores without compensation.
Mugambe, who was studying for a PhD in law at Oxford University, faced multiple charges, including breaching UK immigration laws, facilitating travel for exploitation, and conspiring to intimidate a witness.
During the trial, prosecutors revealed that Mugambe subjected her victim to exploitative conditions, effectively enslaving her.
