Uganda: Victims of forcible eviction still struggling to obtain justice against violations of their right to adequate food in Mubende District Uganda.

In August 2001, the government of Uganda brutally evicted 392 peasant families (approximately 2041 persons) from their land in Mubende. The land was then given to a German coffee company for the purpose of establishing a coffee plantation under its local subsidiary, Kaweri Coffee Plantation Ltd. While some of the victims have found shelter on the neighbouring land and are conducting temporary small-scale farming, others were employed by the plantation as casual workers. After years of struggle, the legal procedure to reclaim their land and properties is still being obstructed and delayed. The government, represented by the attorney general, continues to impede the due course of the process.
