A UN judge has been jailed for six years and four months after forcing a young woman to work as a slave in the UK.

Lydia Mugambe, 50, was found to have taken advantage of her status in relation to the Ugandan woman in the “most egregious way” while Mugambe studied for a PhD in law at the University of Oxford.
