Sara’s life all changed the day her pharmacy in Uganda was raided by soldiers. She was taken to a ‘safe house’, where she was kept in a tiny cell and repeatedly raped and tortured whilst facing interrogation. Although freed after several days she was again to face the same ordeal when the soldiers came back to find her and her husband. Forced to flee Uganda she came to England where despite this continued persecution, her asylum case has been refused.

Even a medical report stating that ‘the medical evidence gives strong support for the history of repeated rapes leading to life threatening gynaecological complications necessitation major surgery’. Moreover, Amnesty, Human Rights Watch and the government themselves all attest to the use of rape against women in Uganda as a means of coercion.

Sara claimed asylum in 2003 and was forced into destitution in December 2004 when her appeal was turned down. Sara lived rough for many months. She now stays with an English woman and lives off Red Cross parcels,while she tries to find a solicitor to take up her case and put in a fresh claim using new evidence that she has been able to recently gather.

Sara also has had no news about her husband and children and prays they are safe.
