Ajok Vikie, who had been working as a domestic worker in Damascus, was detained on January 29, 2026, following the death of her 87-year-old employer, Syrian actress Huda Shaarawi.
The Embassy of Syria in Uganda has dismissed reports alleging that Ugandan national Ajok Vikie has been sentenced to death in Syria, clarifying that legal proceedings against her are still ongoing.
Speaking from his office in Kampala, Syrian Ambassador Dr. Tamouh Moustafa emphasized that no such sentence has been handed down. He explained that Ajok is currently facing trial in connection with the death of her employer, but stressed that the judicial process has not yet reached a verdict.
“The legal process is ongoing. This was a case concerning a specific event. There are no hidden motives or political implications,” Dr. Moustafa said.
Ajok Vikie, who had been working as a domestic worker in Damascus, was detained on January 29, 2026, following the death of her 87-year-old employer, Syrian actress Huda Shaarawi. According to authorities, Ajok later confessed to the killing in an official statement.
The ambassador noted that the embassy is closely monitoring the case and remains committed to ensuring that Ajok’s legal rights are protected throughout the judicial process. He urged the public to refrain from spreading unverified information that could fuel unnecessary panic and speculation.
The clarification comes amid rising concern in Uganda about citizens encountering legal troubles abroad. The Syrian mission reiterated that Ajok Vikie’s trial will proceed in accordance with due process under Syrian law, underscoring that no final judgment has yet been made.
