Скачать или смотреть Court releases nurse accused in HIV negligence case

The High Court has ordered the immediate release of Rose Namubiru, a 64 year old HIV positive nurse who was convicted for negligence.
Earlier this year, Namubiru was accused of using a cannular on a two year old baby that she had allegedly first used on herself.

Justice Frank Albert Rugadya upheld her conviction but considered mitigating factors like her advanced age and health when deciding to release her.

Namubiru committed the crime in January this year and was serving a three year sentence in Luzira prison. She and her relatives say they can now breath a sigh of relief.

However, her lawyers say they will also appeal her conviction.
