Assessors ask court to convict former LRA commander Kwoyelo

Court assessors have asked Judges at the International Crimes Division of the High Court to convict the former commander of the rebel outfit, Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) Thomas Kwoyelo alias Latoni over war crimes and crimes against humanity. 

Three assessors offered their opinions to the trial panel on Friday sitting at the Gulu High Court, a week after the court summed up all the laws and evidence in the case of Kwoyelo to them. The assessors, Franklin Odongkara, Daniel Ocen and Nighty Ajok have been taking part in the trial of Kwoyelo since their appointment in March 2019.
