Kwoyelo found guilty in 44 cases of crimes against humanity

The International Crimes Division (ICD) of the High Court in Gulu sentenced former Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) rebel Thomas Kwoyelo alias Latoni to 40 years in prison.

Kwoyelo was convicted of 44 war crimes and crimes against humanity committed in northern Uganda in violation of domestic and domestic laws in the 1990s and early 2000s.

Kwoyelo, who appeared before a panel of four judges led by Justice Michael Elubu, including Andrew Bashaya, Stephen Mubiru and Duncan Gaswaga, said the convict will be sentenced to 25 years in prison from Friday, October 25. And this after the court deducted 15 years from the sentence in recognition of the time he spent in custody. The court will also hold a separate hearing to determine the amount of compensation to the victims.
