A black judge The UN from Uganda was accused of slavery (4 photos + 1 video)
She helped a girl move to England from Uganda, then took her documents and forced her to work for her. 
Ugandan UN judge Lydia Mugambe herself may soon go to jail - they are framing her for slavery.
This Mugambe lived in the UK and was getting a PhD in Law at Oxford. She had long been thinking about getting a maid to clean the house, cook and look after her children. But she didn't want to pay for it at all. 
Here she turned her attention to the case of Uganda's Deputy High Commissioner Leonard Mugerwa - in his homeland he was involved in a corruption case. Mugambe contacted him and made a deal: she would involve her friends, put in a good word for him in court, and he would find her a slave. The crime commissioner really liked this idea and they shook hands.
Soon, a compatriot of Mugambe came to England - she brought her to her home, took her documents and forced her to work. 
Then her slave finally found an opportunity and complained about her "mistress" to the police. The case got going and the judge found herself the accused. Although she tried to dodge it and said that she had diplomatic immunity.
Lydia Mugambe exploited and abused the trust of the victim, taking advantage of her ignorance of her rights to paid work and misleading her about the purpose of her trip to the UK, - said prosecutor Caroline Haughey at the court hearing.
The failed lawyer was charged with violating UK immigration laws, arranging travel for the purpose of exploitation, forced labour and conspiracy to intimidate a witness. By the way, she lied about diplomatic status and immunity - she has nothing of the sort. So the lady is facing a long prison term - exactly how long is still unknown. The verdict in her case will be handed down on May 2.
Mugambe was a judge in Uganda and cooperated with the International Court of Justice. She was included in the register of this organization in May 2023.
