A UN judge, Lydia Mugambe, has been convicted of modern slavery in the United Kingdom.
The incident took place in the UK, where authorities discovered that Mugambe had subjected an individual to forced labor and exploitation.
The legal action was initiated after the victim reported the abuse to the authorities. Investigations revealed that the victim was forced to work under harsh conditions and denied basic rights.
The UK court found Mugambe guilty after presenting evidence that proved her involvement in the crime. The case sparked outrage, especially given her high-profile role as a judge known for advocating justice and human rights.
The ruling serves as a reminder that no one is above the law, regardless of their position or status. Mugambe is now awaiting sentencing, and the case has attracted global attention due to her influential role in the judicial system.
