Regarding getting heard sooner, build up pressure. If the evidence is clear and overwhelming, campaigning should not be needed, but in the current environment, it probably is. There is very limited after-care available for the innocent, but in the current financial environment I would not be at all surprised if the plug is pulled on even that. It is a rotten situation, but thanks to people like Mpagi there is hope.

That was the opening article on Mpagi’s case. There will be more. The Fitted-In Project is committed to highlighting his case. Mpagi’s vindication is an opportunity for Uganda to progress and it is one that we aim to assist with an initiative built around the outrageous experiences of a remarkable man I am proud to count a good friend. Mpagi’s story has several heroes Ronald Katongole ranks very highly among them. Mpagi is an inspiration to us all. After all he has been through he dedicates his time to fighting the death penalty and to his dream, which is to educate. See http://www.dreamoneworld.org/ for details of the school.

With regard to the scale of the injustice there can be little to add to your summary. However, it should be duly noted that reports say; That as so often happens, it was Edward Edmary Mpagi’s family who successfully campaigned for his release, providing evidence that the alleged victim was still alive (no doubt they had professional help pursuing legal mechanisms to bring about his release and they should be given some credit for that. But, it was his family who precipitated his release).Notwithstanding the atrocities that befell Edward, it is also a story of hope and inspiration against the odds, even after 18 years the family never gave up on trying to find him justice, God bless them.
