U.N. judge convicted for having a slave
A British jury convicted United Nations Judge Lydia Mugambe on Thursday of forcing a Ugandan woman into domestic servitude after luring her to the U.K. under false pretenses.
Mugambe, who also serves as a high court judge in Uganda, brought the victim to Britain under the guise of securing her a job in a diplomatic household â only to make her work as an unpaid maid and nanny. She confiscated the victimâs passport and visa, leaving her trapped until she was able to contact a friend, who alerted authorities, according to a Thames Valley Police statement.
âLydia Mugambe used her position to exploit a vulnerable young woman, controlling her freedom and making her work without payment,â Eran Clutliffe, an attorney for the Crown Prosecution Serviceâs Special Crime Division, said.
The 49-year-old judge, who was studying for a doctorate at the University of Oxford at the time, according to her profile on the U.N.âs website, was found guilty on four charges, including forced labor, an immigration offense and conspiracy to intimidate a witness. Mugambe is also listed on Columbia Universityâs website as a fellow in their human rights program. Prosecutors argued she âexploited and abusedâ the victimâs lack of knowledge about her rights to keep her in a state of servitude.
Mugambe leveraged her connections within the Ugandan High Commission in London to secure a visa for the victim, presenting it as an official employment opportunity, according to court testimony. Instead of placing the woman in a diplomatic household, however, Mugambe brought her to her private residence and forced her to work without pay.
The case shocked observers, with audible gasps heard in the courtroom as the verdicts were delivered at Oxford Crown Court, according to the Associated Press. Mugambe reportedly appeared distressed and unwell following the decision, prompting the judge to clear the courtroom.
Mugambe, who was appointed to a U.N. international court in May 2023, denied all changes. She is now scheduled for sentencing on May 2.
