  1. “A Ugandan judge who is studying for a PhD at Oxford University and sits on UN criminal tribunals is facing charges of trafficking a young woman to be her slave.

    Lydia Mugambe was appointed two years ago to the UN court that deals with residual matters from the criminal tribunals for Rwanda and the former Yugoslavia. She is understood to be a PhD research student at Oxford’s law faculty while on sabbatical from her main role as a high court judge in Uganda.

    Mugambe, 49, is accused of taking advantage of her status in the “most egregious way” by preventing a young Ugandan woman from holding down steady employment and forcing her to work unpaid as her maid and to provide childcare.

    Prosecutors have alleged that Mugambe intended from the start of her relationship with the woman to obtain “someone to make her life easier and at the least possible cost to herself”.

    Mugambe is also accused of attempting to intimidate the alleged victim, who cannot be named, into dropping the case.”

  2. Well I knew some of our judges are shit but this is a whole new level!
