| Death Penalty or not, Uganda Courts hear arguments. |
 The Uganda Supreme Court will begin hearing arguments in a case that is set to determine whether the death penalty should be imposed on murder convicts.
 Ms Susan Kigula and 416 other convicts on death row, in a case filed against the attorney general, have appealed against 2005 Constitutional Court decision that fell short of scrapping the death penalty from Uganda’s criminal justice books. All murder convicts condemned are challenging the constitutionality of the death penalty. Their lawyer is expected to argue that the death penalty is cruel, inhuman and degrading, according to documents before the Supreme Court. But the government wants the Supreme Court to retain the death penalty as the mandatory sentence for murder and other serious crimes.                |
