at least 167 inmates on death row have had their sentences reduced to life imprisonment, following a Ugandan Supreme Court ruling, prisons spokesperson Frank Baine said.
The Supreme Court ruled in January 2009 convicts on death row for more than three years have their sentences commuted to life imprisonment.
“One hundred and fifty inmates qualified by the time the court order was made but as time goes by, over 10 more have qualified. The number is now 167,” Baine said.
According to statistics seen by Daily Monitor from the Prisons department, 57 of the beneficiaries of the January Supreme Court ruling are in Luzira Prison and another 109 are in Kirinya Prison – Jinja. There are five women in total.
