Ivy League Human Rights Fellow Convicted for Having a Slave

Ivy League Human Rights Fellow Convicted for Having a Slave 

This whole thing going on in the UK with that judge, Lydia Mugambe, it's just...something else. You'd think a judge, especially one involved with the UN, would know better. Modern slavery? Forcing someone to work for free? In this day and age? It's unbelievable.

And the gall of it, claiming diplomatic immunity! "I'm a judge in my country, I have immunity!" Well, lady, that doesn't give you a free pass to exploit people. It should mean you're more careful, not less. It's disgusting when people in positions of power abuse that power like this.

What gets me is the vulnerability of the victim. Brought over under false pretenses, trapped in a situation where she feels she can't leave. That's just plain wrong. This is happening in the UK, which should be setting a good example. How can someone do that to another person? And then, trying to intimidate a witness? It is terrible.

You hear these stories, and it makes you wonder if anyone's really on the up-and-up anymore. You just hope there's some justice, not just for the victim, but to send a message that this kind of behavior is unacceptable, no matter who you are. It is so unfortunate, this is a travesty!
