10 UGANDANS FACE DEATH IN CHINA OVER NARCOTICS
ten Ugandans held on charges of illicit drug trafficking in China will soon be lined
ten Ugandans held on charges of illicit drug trafficking in China will soon be lined up for public execution, a government minister said. James Kinobe, the state minister for youth who has just returned from China, said some 10 Ugandans were duped into smuggling heroin pills into China by a network of gangs.
"The suspects, who are aged between 18 and 23, including one woman, were found with heroin amounting to over 1.5kg each.
This automatically spells a death sentence," Mr Kinobe said. He revealed that if the Ugandans are found guilty, they will be executed.
