The European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg under Reference number 31796/09 has accepted to Hear an appeal of two Ugandan Brothers, Henry Mukasa and his brother Steven Musoke who are objecting to the deportation.
The duo has just served long sentences of over 12 years each for murdering Samuel Mugalu another Ugandan, 12 years ago.The Ugandan origin convicts were aged 13 and 17 by the time of their conviction.
Our UK sources have confirmed that a British Law firm, Pillai and Jones Counsels, steered by two Ugandan Born Lawyers, Peter Mashate of Barrister-at-Law of Lincoln’s Inn of Court and Patrick Asiimwe Barrister-at-Law of Middle Temple, have lodged this Appeal in
Strasbourg.

The Ugandan learned fellows have petitioned the World Court to rule on the question of whose social responsibility it is, between Uganda and the UK, to cater for the post prison protection and rehabilitation of the condemned pair whose birth status, save for the far fetched origin is UK based.
To go by the documents obtained, the Lawyers argue that it was the social and libertarian conditions of the UK in which the boys were
nurtured as UK youngsters not Ugandan youngsters and hence the offences of murder.

On the 17th February 1998, at the Central Criminal Court Before His Honor Judge Geoffrey Grison and a jury lasting several weeks, Henry Mukasa and his brother Steven Musoke, Plus Sheldon Nelson and Wayne
Henry were unanimously convicted for the murder of Samuel Mugalu a
Ugandan.

The lawyers further argue that relatives of the murdered Mugalu have never forgiven the boys and deporting them would tantamount to signing their death warrant. “The relatives have been calling the boys’ mother since as they learnt of the impending Deportation.
