Susan Kigula was 21 when she was convicted for murdering her partner
and sentenced to death by hanging. In prison she managed to get
access for women to secondary school -it was already in place for
men- and graduate Highschool. She continued to study Law and after
graduating was able to free herself and hundreds of others from
death row. A lot of innocent people end up in prison because they
can’t afford a lawyer, says Susan. She will tell you a story of
hope, courage, decisiveness and individual growth. And describe how
she managed to change the Ugandan Legal system and participate in
the African Prison Project, improving human rights in Uganda.
