Muslims in eastern Uganda in April beat and raped a young Christian woman for testifying that a mosque leader had killed her father because of his faith.
On 28 January, Samson Mukama (40) was killed at the family house in Kashebai, Pallisa District, by Sheikh Musana Ibrahim, the imam at a mosque in Kanyumu village, Pallisa District, with two other Muslims.
Present at her family’s house when her father was killed, Samson Mukama’s daughter had testified in court that the mosque leader had killed him. ‘I was able to identify the sheikh because we are neighbours, and my father had been questioning him about the Islamic faith not leading one to salvation with God’, she said from her hospital bed.
