in World News GUILTY: United Nations Judge In UK Convicted For Owning A Slave
Ironically, she’s listed as a fellow at Columbia University’s Institute for the Study of Human rights
A United Nations criminal tribunal judge was just found guilty of violating the Modern Slavery Act. Her sentencing will come on May 2nd. What is the UN actually GOOD for?
Studying for a PhD in Oxford, and claiming she has diplomatic immunity as a Ugandan judge, this lady, a Fellow from the Institute Of Human Rights was just convicted for violating the most basic of human rights: slavery.
Lydia Mugambe, High Judge in Uganda, a Criminal Trubunal judge for the United Nations, a student at Oxford, and someone who is listed as a ‘fellow’ at the Institute for the Study of Human Rights, has just been found guilty of one of the more heinous crimes a person can be accused of… a conviction only made worse by the nature of her role in society.
If others look to HER to be the arbiter of justice, to whom shall those she has wronged in the most grievous of ways turn?
Prosecutors said Lydia Mugambe “took advantage of her status” over her victim by preventing her from holding down steady employment while forcing her to work as her maid and provide childcare for free.
The 49-year-old, who is also a High Court judge in Uganda, was found guilty of conspiring to facilitate the commission of a breach of UK immigration law, facilitating travel with a view to exploitation, forcing someone to work, and conspiracy to intimidate a witness..
She will be sentenced at Oxford Crown Court on May 2.
In footage released by Thames Valley Police, Mugambe appeared shocked when an officer said he was arresting her under the Modern Slavery Act.
She then had a conversation with the officer, in which she said: “I am a judge in my country, I even have immunity. I am not a criminal.” — BBC
