The Court of Appeal in Kampala, Uganda, has reversed a 200 million Ugandan Shillings (approximately $53,000 USD) compensation award to Henry Muloki, a convicted defiler. Muloki had claimed he was tortured while detained at Kitalya Prison by a prison warder. A panel of three justices, including Deputy Chief Justice Moses Kazibwe-Kawumi, made the ruling on Wednesday. The court’s decision effectively dismisses Muloki’s claim of mistreatment during his imprisonment. This case highlights the complexities surrounding allegations of torture within Uganda’s correctional system. The ruling signals a cautious approach to compensation claims by convicted criminals. Further details of the court’s reasoning were not immediately available.
