Lydia Mugambe, a senior judge who worked with the UN and Uganda's High Court, was sentenced to 6 years and 4 months for enslaving a Ugandan PhD student in the UK. Convicted of multiple counts, including breaching UK immigration laws and forcing the victim to work as a maid and provide childcare, Mugambe exploited her status. The victim expressed immense fear and feelings of entrapment, exacerbated by Mugambe's legal background. Judge Foxton highlighted Mugambe's lack of remorse and the case's tragic nature, given her past human rights work.
"The victim reported living in 'almost constant fear', stating she could not return to Uganda due to Mugambe's power and feared for her mother's safety."
"Judge David Foxton described the case as 'very sad' and criticized Mugambe for showing 'absolutely no remorse' and attempting to wrongly blame the victim."
